Themed \u201cWellness Awakening\u201d, the festival brought together fitness enthusiasts, families and individuals of all ages through a vibrant series of wellness workshops, bazaars and immersive experiences aimed at enhancing mental, emotional and physical well being.<\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n \u201cThis year\u2019s Festival exceeded our expectations, presenting a remarkable shift as individuals and fitness enthusiasts from all walks of life embrace wellness in Singapore. The aim of Glow Festival has always been to inspire the public to pursue wellness holistically and to create a platform for wellness practitioners to showcase their talents. Witnessing the impact we are making here in Singapore, has brought us one step closer to our mission of transforming the city into a wellness haven,\u201d said Martin Capstick, Founder of Glow Festival.<\/p>\n Since its inception from 2019, Glow Festival has become a leading wellness event in Singapore, launching its third edition this year. Being the anchor event of the Singapore Tourism Board\u2019s (STB) Wellness Festival Singapore (WFS), the festival has gone hand-in-hand with STB to play a pivotal role in highlighting and supporting the wellness scene in Singapore. What began as a one-day event has since expanded to a sixteen-day festival, offering unique wellness experiences, reflecting the success of Glow Festival and its impact on the evolving wellness landscape in Singapore.<\/p>\n Leading life insurer Prudential, the presenting sponsor of this year\u2019s event, launched its six-week exclusive mentorship programme, Project Glow Up for individuals aspiring to build a career in the wellness industry. Following an overwhelming response from hopeful candidates across Singapore, each of the three selected mentees were professionally mentored by experts in the fitness, food and beverage and retail industries. This initiative also marked the inaugural collaboration between Prudential and Glow Festival, with the common goal of bringing together a wellness community to inspire more people to enrich their physical and mental well-being.<\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n The burgeoning popularity of Glow Festival also highlights the rising importance of fitness and well-being among Singaporeans. Since the pandemic, it was surveyed that about 66% of Singaporeans are motivated to adopt healthier lifestyles, despite the heightened stress and anxiety caused by long working hours. Through its collaborations with key partners such as Prudential, Marina Bay Sands, lululemon, PURE, Guardian, Ishopchangi, and Almora Botanica etc, Glow Festival has also provided a unique space for practitioners to display their talents and connect with a wider audience, further enhancing the focus on holistic wellness that targets the mind, body, soul and spirit in the local scene.<\/p>\n Programme Key Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n In partnership with lululemon, this year’s event was headlined by international celebrity coaches Akin Akman, Co-Founder of AARMY and Dr Chelsea Jackson Roberts, internationally acclaimed Peloton yoga teacher, with sold-out classes over the three weekends.
