Future spa: deepening your wellness expertise

The idea of wellbeing is becoming more about physicality, emotionality and spirituality all working in harmony. Spas and retreats offer an escape, but post-Covid, guests increasingly want to connect, to meet other likeminded people and partake in movement practices where they bond as a group.

Previously guests were kept relatively separate, dining alone, having treatments alone, so although a lot of people were enjoying the facilities they were very much at a distance from one another.

Now I see guests yearning for togetherness, and spas must do all they can to provide this. Yoga workshops can really connect people and create a micro-community, but spas also have a duty to hire specialist teachers, who can encourage guests to be fully immersed and open to the changes happening both in their mind and body, whatever their ability. www.davjonesyoga.com
