For those who have cabin fever and anxiety about traveling nowadays, don’t fret! Aegle Wellness Center’s Serenity Series in Balesin Island is just what you need.
Aegle’s Serenity Series in Balesin Island is a succession of wellness weekends in a secluded, private paradise, dedicated to revitalizing the mind and body. For your peace of mind in these extraordinary times, all safety precautions and guidelines are in place for a worry-free wellness retreat—from the private hangar lounge to the UV-treated luxury villas in Balesin. Each Serenity Series weekend is designed to be a life-changing experience with various wellness activities, complemented by Aegle’s world-class medical services and treatments to boost not only your immune system, but your well-being as well.
To kick off the Serenity Series, Aegle had their Tai Chi + Wellness Weekend last Friday to Sunday, July 17 to 19. An exercise that originated in China as a martial art and has been practiced around the world for centuries, tai chi is a series of controlled and graceful body movements that address the key components of fitness (muscle strength, flexibility, and balance), which is why it’s done by people of all ages and fitness levels—even those recovering from surgeries or injuries. Spearheading the tai chi sessions is Jose Antonio “Jo” Anonas, a tai chi instructor for 13 years who has been practicing it for about two decades.
Yoga beginners and enthusiasts alike and those seeking a mental health boost can book their upcoming Serenity Series Balesin: Yoga + Wellness Weekend on Friday to Sunday, July 31 to August 2. Leading the way this weekend is Rosan Cruz, Urban Energy Healer and Kundalini yoga instructor. Compared to other types of yoga, Kundalini yoga is more spiritual and philosophical in nature. Aside from yoga postures, it includes meditation, breathing techniques, and chanting.
According to Rosan, “Kundalini yoga, known as the Yoga of Awareness, helps you regain control of yourself so that you are not controlled by your thoughts and feelings. As a science of the body, Kundalini yoga helps improve blood circulation, cleanses the organs, and increases strength and flexibility. As a science of the mind, it helps you balance your emotions, become positively extroverted, strengthen your willpower, and free your energy.” Rosan will also be conducting gong bath sessions where all guests, especially those who find it hard to stay relaxed when meditating, can experience the calming and healing effects of sound therapy. She added, “Aside from its revitalizing effect on the immune and nervous system, gong baths serve as excellent therapy for all stress-related issues, depression, fatigue, feelings of separation, loneliness, anger, fear and hostility, and other conditions caused by a lack of balance and harmony in the body and mind.”
If you haven’t tried tai chi, Kundalini yoga, or gong baths yet, there’s no better place to start something new than in an island paradise with its fresh ocean breeze, beautiful scenery, and acclaimed gourmet food to boost your well-being. Expect more featured activities such as art and photography classes, as well as sports, in Aegle’s future Serenity Series Balesin weekends.
With the safety of the guests as the topmost priority, all will be done in compliance with the strict health and safety guidelines and protocols based on existing regulations and international standards to ensure that Balesin Island remains COVID-free.
All Serenity Series Balesin wellness weekends will include Manila-Balesin Island round-trip airfare, one COVID-19 Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT), luxurious villa accommodation in Balesin for three days and two nights, daily healthy gourmet breakfast, and the following Aegle diagnostics and treatments: Body Composition Analysis to gauge your body’s fat and muscle content; Direct Micronutrient Analysis to determine if there are harmful toxins in your body; Light Therapy to stimulate your brain’s hormone secretion and improve your body’s processes; and Autonomic Nervous System Stress Response test to get an overview of your nervous system and stress threshold, just by lying down for three minutes.
Guests will also get a 30-day supply of Immune Booster Packs—a set of uniquely formulated supplements that contain the highest appropriate levels of vitamins B12, C, and E, and folate, zinc, and selenium. They can also choose from either Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy—helps expedite cell repair and regeneration through pure oxygen—or an Immune Boost IV Drip sessionthat will support and power up the body’s defenses against sickness and viruses. Guests will also be entitled to choose an Aegle Aesthetics treatment to try: a choice between having a local fat-reduction slimming treatment on one body area (face, arms, tummy, back, or thighs) or FaceFitness—an Aegle-exclusive treatment and the Philippines’ first facial workout designed to keep the face healthy, toned, and young-looking.
In addition, guests will experience Thalassotherapy—a treatment that makes use of the seawater and its natural elements for detoxification, anti-ageing, and regeneration. Aegle – Balesin is the only facility in the Philippines, and one of very few in Asia, that offers Thalassotherapy. Guests will also have time to explore the island and its villages that are authentically patterned after the best seaside destinations around the world.
