Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts says YES to Global Wellness Day, a growing international initiative that takes place the 2nd Saturday every June shining a light on the importance of wellness and encompassing everything from exercise and beauty treatments to spiritual teachings and ways of thinking, and the harmony between body and spirit.
On the heels of its global #30DaysofEnergy campaign last fall, Four Seasons, one of the largest luxury spa operators in the world, will mark the occasion with special offerings ranging from sunrise yoga and meditation to classes and tips on healthy eating.

“It is a terrific way to promote all aspects of what we are doing at our properties every day to advance wellness through our spas, fitness facilities, our restaurants and room service, and of course our initiatives targeted to employees,” says Simon Casson, Chairman, Global Spa Task Force at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.
"Four Seasons spas around the world are deeply committed to offering guests customised therapies according to their needs and wants, including natural or chemical-free product lines and treatment options,” Casson added,  noting that multiple Four Seasons spas were recently honoured in the SpaFinder Wellness 365 Global Wellness Travel Awards, including two prestigious Crystal Awards.
