Victoria Leeds is hosting its ‘Boost Wellness Day’ on Wednesday October 18. Among the activities offered are a free autumn yoga class, cuddles with puppies, and a specialist panel event offering menopause advice, alongside complimentary massages, and sampling across Victoria Leeds’ wellness brands, including Bird & Blend tea, NEOM, Kiehls and Molton Brown.
Proven to reduce stress and boost happy hormones, a team of superhero canines will be on hand for cuddles between 11-3pm on the main central area of Victoria Quarter.
Yoga Kula will be on hand with a free Autumn Flow yoga class – a Vinyasa-inspired session with moments for tranquillity and stillness. The class will take place from 1.45pm to 2.30pm above the Sweaty Betty store and includes a guided shopping experience around the boutique downstairs.
As part of the Wellness Day and to raise awareness on World Menopause Day, Victoria Leeds has teamed up with LIVVE and an army of experts to impart their knowledge in a series of menopause panel event. The panel talks will take place outside John Lewis in Victoria Gate at 12.30pm, 2pm and 3.30pm.
New store, Bird & Blend Tea Co, will be sampling a variety of drinks from its new menu, NEOM and Molton Brown will be offering complimentary hand and arm massages in-store throughout the day and skin care specialist Kiehl’s will also be on hand with bookable facials on the day.
Jo Coburn, senior general manager at Victoria Leeds, said: “We’re so excited to bring back our focus on autumn wellness. As we move into the darker, colder months of the year, it’s more important than ever to prioritise self-care. This event is rooted in finding the feel-good in every day, designed to offer plenty of mood-boosting activities and expert advice – as well as working to demystify the taboos around menopause. We’re so looking forward to seeing all that positive energy, and helping people feel well for winter.”
