World Wellness Weekend celebrated with special activities

On September 19, 20 and 21, venues across the country will be promoting a healthier lifestyle with free classes, workshops and discounts.

Venues across Portugal are participating in the 9th World Wellness Weekend. Celebrated on September 19, 20 and 21 this year, the annual event has adopted a fun and motivating theme: September is the “new January”!

“World Wellness Weekend encourages millions of people to resume a regular physical routine after the summer, almost like New Year’s resolutions in January”, says the organisation.

Every third weekend of September, just before the Equinox, thousands of venues open their doors to offer fun and free activities to discover and try with friends, colleagues, or family: fitness, yoga, outdoor activities, relaxation, massage workshops, and more.

Ten thousand venues across 160 countries are participating in this inspiring health campaign, all of which are listed on the event’s official website

In Portugal, 55 venues from Vilamoura to Porto are offering activities and special discounts. In the Algarve, activities can be found in Quinta do Lago, Vale de Lobo, Vilamoura and Albufeira.

The rest of the year, all these venues remain visible on www.wellmap.org, showcasing their activities, regular classes, events, and special offers.

World Wellness Weekend is a pro bono initiative supporting the 3rd Goal of the UNITED NATIONS («Good Health and Wellbeing for All) in partnership with 60 professional associations and federations to promote Vitality, Serenity and Solidarity.
