This time of year can give us the blues, so there’s no better time than the winter to pamper yourself so you can actually work on your goals, or enjoy some well-deserved holidays! Luckily, The Westin’s making it easy with their incredible, holistic Wellness Weekend.
What to expect
The first day of this healing weekend will be focused on a wellness reset. The city can be hectic and chaotic, so slowing down and listening to your body is a much-needed pause. Plus, International Yoga Day and Global Running Day are coming up, so what better way to celebrate than to enjoy what your body can do?
You’ll kickstart the journey with a Barre-less Barre class, led by none other than Phoebe Parsons, known for her uplifting, high-energy teaching style that’ll have you pumped up on endorphins. Come back down and relax with a Body Scrub + Aromatherapy Shower Steamers Workshop, a hands-on wellness experience hosted by the Heavenly Spa team that will explore natural skincare and calming aromatherapy rituals.
Fittingly, the next activity will be a Seasonal Cooking Class, which will help you celebrate locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and mindful eating. As you get ready to wind down after a delicious, healthy meal, the Mindful Movement & Nervous System Reset workshop will give you a moment to slow down, soften, and reconnect with your body.
It’ll begin with a Pilates flow incorporating stretch, somatic movement, release, and soft strength designed to help you unwind and create space within, so you can come out with a calming blend of movement and practical tools you can carry into your everyday life.
Finally, you can rest up for what tomorrow brings with a curated sleep ritual featuring wellness kits to take the experience home.
Start Sunday, a day focused on community, connection and conscious living, with a soulful Gentle Stretch & Yoga session in honor of International Yoga Day. Ease into the day with slow movement designed to release tension and restore flow, followed by a light breakfast.
Later, you can get lost browsing the first ever Westin Wellness Market, which will welcome anyone interested in wellness, beauty, food, crafts, and lifestyle creations, created by a stunning line-up of premium local partners and artisans.
If introspection is your jam, you won’t want to miss In Bloom: A Guided Journaling Workshop. This guided journaling experience is designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself and reflect on the season of life you’re in.
Finally, why not end the weekend with something warm and comforting? Explore the ritual of tea, the blending, brewing, and mindfulness through every sip you take, and take that stillness with you.
With all these options to bring wellness home with you, you’re guaranteed to start the year out feeling more balanced, inspired and connected, which will ultimately help you be the version of you that you want to be in 2026!
