BY Megan Whitby
Integrative health resort, Chiva-Som in Hua Hin, Thailand, is growing its Online Wellness Service offering with a series of complimentary classes and talks throughout September and October.
The resort is expanding its existing support programme, launched during lockdown, with educational sessions on improving gut health and mood, neurodynamic nerve stretching exercises, Pilates and how to promote a healthy cardiovascular system.
The sessions will be conducted in English at 15:00 (GMT+7) – a full schedule can be found below – and advance reservation is required and can be arranged here.
The programme was initially launched to relieve social isolation during lockdown using live video health and wellbeing consultations, as well as one-on-one fitness tutorials, with Chiva-Som’s naturopaths, physiotherapists and exercise professionals.
