To promote the health and well-being of guests, colleagues and communities, Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai is celebrating Global Wellness Day (GWD) with a complimentary cooking class, yoga session and a large meditative colouring postcard.

The theme for GWD, held on 10th June 2017, is ‘One Day Can Change Your Whole Life’. Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai will be encouraging guests to find their #ParadiseWithin with a complimentary yoga session at the Health Club from 5 – 6pm followed by a 25% discount to the Iftar buffet located in Dunes Café. The yoga class will provide a low-intensity workout, ideal for exercise that occurs prior to breaking the fast.

Guests who are not fasting during the holy month of Ramadan are invited to join Executive Sous Chef, Driss Daabaz for a healthy cooking class, taking place in Hoi An. Focusing on techniques and fresh ingredients, Chef Driss will guide guests through a three-course Vietnamese-inspired menu.

Finally, all visitors to the recently renovated hotel lobby will be welcomed with a meditative colouring card measuring approximately two meters wide and invited to join in the colouring. Inspired by the meditative colouring postcards located in each of the 302 rooms and suites, it is widely accepted that the intricate art of coloring can help calm the mind, with benefits similar to meditation.
