Dubai's Madinat Jumeirah launches wellness month

The Madinat Jumeirah resort in Dubai has announced a month of wellbeing-focused activities, the Talise Wellness Month, in February.

The month will feature a string of daily events and activities centred on wellness, including yoga, meditation, group exercise classes, wellness consultations, tai chi and healthy cooking classes.

Talise Wellness Month will kick off with a beach yoga session on February 1. On February 3, a launch event will be held for the DNA Center for Integrative Medicine, Wellness & Bio-Aesthetics, opening at the resort’s Talise Spa.

As part of the launch event, visitors will be invited to have a body composition analysis, measuring the levels of fat, muscle and water in the body. On February 4, Austrian artist Sha will make an appearance to outline the philosophy behind Talise Spa’s AlphaSphere Deluxe experience.

The experience, created by Sha, fuses sound therapy, colour therapy and aromatherapy with massage techniques, in order to de-stress body and mind. On February 6, Talise Wellness executive chef Gabriele Kurtz will host a cooking class focused on preparing a healthy breakfast.

February 20 will see a morning mediation session and health talk by artist, sound therapist and meditation teacher Winnie Rode.
