In recent years, the UAE has seen a widespread transformation in its approach to wellness, embracing a more integrated, holistic concept of health and wellbeing. Parents are no exception to this movement, as their daily life requires physical stamina, mental resilience and emotional steadiness. The pressures of balancing family life, work and your own needs can be overwhelming, making it crucial for mothers to prioritise their health. In recent years, holistic wellness practices like hot yoga, barre, Pilates, infra-red treatments and cryotherapy have gained popularity for their potential benefits.
Jessica Casalegno, the new director and studio manager at Dubai’s leading hot wellness institution, Dryp, looks at some of the best holistic treatments they offer and how they can benefit mums.
HOT YOGA
The first activity is hot yoga, a practice that has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years.
Stress reduction
Hot yoga, performed in a heated room, combines physical postures with breath control. This practice has been shown to reduce stress, by promoting deep relaxation and mindfulness. For mothers managing hectic schedules, hot yoga provides a dedicated space to unwind and release tension.
Flexibility and strength
The heat in hot yoga classes allows your muscles to stretch more easily, enhancing your flexibility. Poses and flows in hot yoga contribute to improved strength, crucial for mothers who may need to carry and lift their children regularly.
