ManaVida together with The St.Regis Macao, “Says Yes” to Global Wellness Day, a one-day event celebrating health and wellbeing, taking place this June 8th, offering complimentary workout activities for adults and children such as Stretch, Aerial Silks, Zumba, Pilates, Animal Flow, Aqua Games, Children and Parents fitness, performances and talks both in English and Chinese.
Global Wellness Day is based on the simple premise of increasing global consciousness of living a better life, even if it’s just for one day, by drawing a focus on healthier lifestyle choices. ManaVida & The St. Regis Macao, with Global Wellness Day Event stands united with hundreds of spas and wellness organizations in more than 72 countries from Turkey to Thailand to support proactive wellness.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number one health problem in the world is, surprisingly, not a virus or a disease but depression – an affliction, which is linked to sleeplessness, stress and obesity.
The non-profit project created by Belgin Aksoy in 2012 is being embraced by the spa and wellness world and has now also been accepted as a Global Wellness Institute initiative. Belgin, who came up with an idea to combat depression and unhappiness by promoting the importance of living well, says, “We’ve honored almost everything which is valuable to us with a special day, so why not have one that’s dedicated to the universally accepted importance of wellness?”
“Living a life with wellness at its core is the guiding principle of our organization which is why we “Say Yes” to Global Wellness Day and are proud that many in our Institute network, including ManaVida & The St. Regis, Macao are embracing this important campaign,” said Susie Ellis, Chairman and CEO of the Global Wellness Institute.
The campaign challenges people to change one aspect of their lives for a day and outlines seven steps to better wellness: What will you say “yes” to today?
– Drink more water
– Walk for an hour
– Shop locally & eat organically
– Stop using plastic bottles
– Do a good deed
– Eat a family dinner
– Go to bed at 10pm
