As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, many people find themselves feeling more sluggish than usual. To celebrate World Mental Health Day and to support the Macao SAR Government’s call to prioritize physical and mental well-being, the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa Macau joined forces with lululemon on October 27 to host ‘Embracing World Mental Health Day through Yoga and Movement’, a wellness event designed to promote mental and physical health. Guided by professional yoga instructors, CrossFit practitioner and sound bowl masters, participants had the opportunity to feel awakened from within and gain a deeper understanding of the essence of wellness.

Kicking off on the second floor of Banyan Tree Macau at Galaxy Macau™, the event welcomed guests on a refreshing and indulgent journey of mind, body, and spirit exploration through a curated series of activities. The first session was the 60-minute Morning Yoga and Movement class led by professional yoga instructor and CrossFit practitioner. Listening to soft music intertwined with the sounds of nature, participants explored the profound connection between psychological wellbeing and overall physical health, and were encouraged to embrace nature and the joys of life.

This session was followed by a 30-minute Relaxation and Refreshment Time, where participants enjoyed specially blended healthy drinks, filling the air with a fragrant and refreshing aroma. In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, guests shared their stories and delved into discussions on how to cultivate a sense of awe and respect for nature amidst the busyness of life. As participants moved into the 60-minute Singing Bowl Sound Bath and Meditation session, they immersed themselves in the harmonious tones of the singing bowls under the guidance of professional instructors. Each note seemed to guide them further into a state of inner tranquility, bringing peace to their mind, body, and soul.

During lunchtime, guests enjoyed a nutritious and delicious meal. The meal was not only a feast for the senses but also a time for relaxed interaction. Participants shared wellness tips and life philosophies, fostering a warm sense of community. Last but not least, the Aromatherapy Candle DIY Workshop offered attendees the opportunity to craft their own one-of-a-kind candles, experiencing the joy and satisfaction of hands-on creativity. The guests also enjoyed exclusive spa offers on the day of the event, allowing them to unwind in an atmosphere of serenity and bask in the unique allure of Banyan Tree Spa Macau.

Banyan Tree Spa Macau has long upheld the philosophy of offering a sanctuary for the senses, creating a space for healing the mind and body, away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Lululemon, on the other hand, encourages people to reconnect with themselves, balance mind and body, and explore life through exercise. The event emphasized the importance of physical and mental well-being, inviting guests on a journey of total relaxation where they could let their cares melt away.
