Anya Resort Tagaytay’s new wellness center is founded on an ethos that allows our sense of well-being to blossom while improving our physical, emotional, and mental health.

Niyama Wellness Center was officially launched during “A Journey to Holistic Wellness” on October 5 to 6 at Anya Resort Tagaytay

According to Carol Laguna, corporate wellness and spa director, “Niyama Wellness Center anchors its philosophy and purpose on five pillars comprising the Niyama Experience namely, the spa, integrative treatments, inner journeys, movement, and soul menu.”

The Spa features treatments and experiences such as massage therapies, scrubs, and spa indulgences using locally sourced natural ingredients that actively support sustainability and conscientious efforts. The Niyama Signature Massage is highly recommended with its warm bamboo sticks bringing comfort, relaxation, and relief.

For couples looking for some quality time together can try the Couple’s Harmony, described as “a soothing and soulful journey that begins with a relaxing Foot Bath ritual followed by an indulgent Milk Bath which ends with the blissful Niyama Signature Massage.

The Ultimate Glow Scrub is perfect for those craving for radiant skin as the treatment removes dead skin cells and impurities while offering scrub options like coffee, salt, and sugar.

Integrative Treatments

According to Anya Resort Tagaytay, “The Integrative Treatments are founded on Niyama Wellness Center’s purpose of promoting a better quality of life and a collaboration with biological wellness company, European Wellness Retreat (EWR) ensuring optimization of one’s health and well-being, rooted in principles of European biological medicine and their specialized cellular health programs.”

The brand elaborates, “As building blocks to better health, EWR’s Biological Body Scan is a German made screening instrument assessing personal bio markers, such as automatic nervous system, diet, lifestyle, stress, and psycho emotional levels, adaptation, determining an individual’s current health status, and revealing one’s biological age versus common chronological age.”

For detoxification, Infrared Bioresonance Therapy by EWR utilizes light to raise the body’s internal temperature without heating the air round, unlike a conventional sauna. With continuous sessions, benefits include better immune and respiratory health, as well as glowing skin.

An established treatment efficiently bringing pure oxygen to cells and tissues, EWR’s Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) simulates a pressurized environment allowing our bodies to increase the amount of oxygen carried by blood; a series of sessions treats a number of conditions such as cardiovascular disease, chronic anaerobic infections, burns and slow healing injuries and improves overall immune health.

Inner Journeys

Inner Journeys are seasonal retreats and workshops in partnership with noted wellness specialists and champions, enhancing Niyama Wellness Center’s experiential and life-resetting offers. The activities under Inner Journeys are meaningful opportunities for reflection, meditation, engagement, support and quiet transformation for participants seeking to reset and reconnect the body, mind and spirit.
