| Karma Resorts introduce new slow moving wellness initiatives |
|
|
| By Aoife Dowling 04 Apr 2013 |

Karma Resorts Group has launched a range of slow-moving wellness experiences that includes a combination of 100 per cent organic local wellness cuisine, trained healers, fitness experts and personalised treatments.
Leading the way is Karma Resorts in Bali with its 'inspired wellness’ initiatives, which feature the new 'Wonderlust' menu, pilates and yoga therapy, an all organic wellness energy cuisine menu and a new Juiceologist workshop.
The group has two resorts in Bali, Karma Jimbaran and Karma Kandara. All guests checking into Karma Spas in Bali are treated to the new 'Karma Wow', a therapeutic neck and shoulder massage. This signature prequel to all Karma Spa's facials and massages is a slow and rhythmic massage, focusing on the head and shoulder area.
The new treatments, including massage, facials and signature rituals are designed to slowly ease guests into a deeply restful state where authentic healing can happen.
The ‘Wonderlust' menu offers half-day experiences, which include the 'Muscle Melt' program, comprised of a personal training work out, detox infrared sauna and Karma Wellbeing massage.
Alternatively the 'Sleep Well Tonight' experience starts with a morning yoga session followed by a Jade Stone Therapy and evening Soul Reflexology. Other 'Wonderlust' programmes include Chakra Blessings for couples and Sculpt & Shape.
Karma Spa's team of therapists train under the guidance of certified sports massage experts, health practitioners, reflexologists and healers.
Other wellness initiatives at Karma Resorts include the appointment of mixologist Yianni Giannopoulos, creator of the 'Purelosophy Energy Drinks' used by the Swiss Olympic team at the 2012 Olympic Games. Giannopoulos creates juices made local fruits that are low in calories and sugar, high-energy green juices and antioxidant-rich superfood smoothies. He will also be running a complimentary, 30-minute Juiceologist Workshop program at Karma Resorts.
The group will also offer a new menu focusing on Wellness Energy Cuisine, created by Karma's executive chef, Bjorn Van Veggel. The menu is 100 per cent organic and created from locally grown ingredients. There is wheat and gluten-free options and all the desserts are sugar-free.
Judy Chapman, wellness & spa curator for Karma Resorts, said: "We're all about slowing down this year"
"We've slowed down our massage delivery a notch or two to combat the fast 'blackberry' mindset. Our fitness menu now includes slow-movement modalities like yoga therapy and pilates core-strength. We have just launched our new Karma Rhythm Massage that is delivered deeply and slowly.”
