As the city begins embracing life as Covid restrictions ease, Lululemon brings a series of one-hour wellness classes to Hong Kong’s newest architectural gem, the M+ museum. Against the beautiful backdrop of Victoria Harbour, Lululemon’s community ambassadors will be hosting classes beginning June 25. 

The Be Well Experience will feature a number of classes including mindful yoga, crystal bowl meditation and barre sessions. Located in the West Kowloon Cultural District, M+ provides a unique outdoor experience right in the heart of the city. 

Among the classes is the Moving with Awareness session led by Gianni Melwani at 9:30 am on June 25. A former footballer and long-time yoga practitioner, Melawani advocates body-mind awareness and incorporates yoga to complement other athletic pursuits. “It is quite interesting how yoga has helped many athletes prolong their careers and aided in sports performance and recovery; hence I decided to incorporate some of these practices into my daily routine as well,” he says.

In addition to the series of wellness classes, Lululemon launched a Mindful Walk City Guide in partnership with local art platform ZtoryTeller. The guide is free to pick up at Lululemon stores across the city and is a visual map that explores hidden gems through a mindful journey around town. 

The 12 Lululemon & M+ Be Well Experience sessions take place over weekends starting June 25 until the end of July.
