Living well and choosing health is harder than we think, with many of us leading busy city lives and very rarely taking the time to check in with our own minds and bodies. But self-care and wellness have never been more important than now — people searching for self-care is at a constant upwards trajectory — and living well is no longer about living indulgently but living contentedly.
So, to mark Global Wellness Day this coming Saturday, June 12, 2021, we’ve signed ourselves up for an entire day to focus on just ourselves and to reset our minds and rid ourselves of our daily stressors. Mark your calendars, here are just a few wellness experiences and treatments you can book yourself into right now.
Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong
The Oriental Spa at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental is hosting a complimentary Body Balance virtual class and a DIY body scrub making class on June 12. The Body Balance Virtual Class, hosted at the Fitness Centre, will be led by fitness instructors from Les Mills, and is a yoga-based class that embraces elements of Tai Chi and Pilates. The 30-minute class will help improve flexibility and core strength and is a perfect way to restore balance in one’s mind, body and soul.
The virtual class will be followed by a body scrub making class at Spa Café, using natural ingredients like Himalayan sea salt, coconut oil and fresh flowers. Finish off with light refreshments, and take that sense of wellbeing and calmness away with you as you re-navigate the city.
What’s more, the hotel will be joining the Mandarin Oriental Group’s 24 Hour Wellness Initiative, offering a fitness class on Instagram at 2pm for just about anyone to follow.

If you haven’t made wellbeing your top priority, Fivelements Habitat invites you to do so. The wellness sanctuary is well within reach at Times Square, and at 15,000 square-feet, with three treatment rooms, private studios and spaces for meditation and tea cermonies, is the ultimate destination to rejuvenate and rebalance oneself.
For Global Wellness Day, the sanctuary is highlighting the benefits of meditation through two Sacred Arts: Vocal Healing Meditation and Tea Ceremony.
