*************************************************************************
It’s Friday. The weekend’s here but, this is no ordinary Saturday and Sunday. With two undeniably-energetic days at Balance Festival, Dan and Laura from the marketing team are in for a world of wellness this weekend.
What is Balance Festival?
If you’re into all things fitness, nutrition, self-care and wellness, Balance is the place for you. After a hard couple of years, Balance is the perfect place to indulge in what makes your body and mind thrive – namely movement and self-love – and, ultimately, what makes you happy.
As newbies to Balance Festival, Dan and I are thrilled to be here with Virgin Active. There’s no doubt, the next couple of days are going to be incredible. With pumping tunes, a showcase of incredible brands specialising in nutrition, fitness and all things wellness, this is the only place you need to be if you’ve got a free weekend – or even a few hours to spare.
What is there to do at Balance Festival?
Balance Festival is so much more than its stalls and vendors. It’s a community that unites world-class health and fitness advocates all under one roof.
Here’s what we’re most looking forward to…
Top of Dan’s list is: seeing what’s popular in the world of wellness right now.
Top of Laura’s list is: testing out some samples!
But, don’t just take our word for it. Come down and try it for yourself. There’s also:
• Workouts from Alice Living, Michael James Wong, Tina Obeng and more
• Talks on Exercise and Mental Health, happiness, self-kindness and goal setting
• Free guided meditations
• Free Yoga classes
There is no better way to spend your weekend!
