Rosewood Hotels & Resorts Debuts All-New Virtual Programming for Global Wellness Day
On June 12 in celebration of the annual event, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts will debut all-new virtual programming to improve one’s overall well-being at home.
More important now than ever, self-care is essential for our physical and mental health. In celebration of Global Wellness Day on June 12— an annual initiative celebrated in over 150 countries that is dedicated to living well and raising awareness for personal health—Rosewood Hotels & Resorts will debut all-new virtual programming from its various properties across the globe that will include techniques, routines, and exercises that can be recreated at home to improve one’s overall well-being.
To complement their in-person wellness offerings, 20 Rosewood properties worldwide have created a series of videos that will be released on the property and brand Instagram channels throughout the day to encourage wellness in an accessible way to all viewers.
At Rosewood Sanya in China, a short yoga retreat will demonstrate key yoga poses in a serene setting that get one’s mind and body easily balanced.
Select experiences also tap into the brand’s PlaceMakers—Rosewood’s newly established community of diverse individuals who are advancing the ideals of culture and kinship around the world—including a special workout with the Oona Series founders Catie Miller and Boniface Verney-Carron at Rosewood London.
“Celebrating Global Wellness Day is now more important than ever, as individuals increasingly prioritize physical and mental wellness and look to create a healthier daily routine in response to the unprecedented challenges many have faced this past year,” says Niamh O’Connell, group vice president of Asaya and wellness for Rosewood Hotel Group. “This year, we are thrilled to offer virtual programming from our properties worldwide to inspire viewers to recognize the value of their lives and focus on their well-being in an accessible way.”
At Rosewood San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, health and well-being activities offered include a guided meditation.
