Cathay Pacific, in partnership with The Pure Group, has opened The Sanctuary by Pure Yoga, a dedicated wellness space in Cathay Pacific’s business-class lounge at The Pier in Hong Kong.
The area measures 65 sqm and is divided into two zones – The Body Sanctuary, which is dedicated to yoga, and The Mind Sanctuary, where travellers can meditate to focus and calm the mind.
The Body Sanctuary provides travellers with a space for gentle yoga with guided videos led by Pure Yoga teachers. There’s also a secluded space for self-practice. Seated stretching is an alternative option; chairs overlook instructions on how to stretch different parts of the body whilst seated. The exercises are designed to improve circulation, enhance joint mobility and relax the mind for a comfortable and restful journey.
Within The Mind Sanctuary there are two types of meditation on offer. In audio meditation, four cushioned pods are equipped with noise-cancelling headphones and iPads, and customers can listen to guided meditation sessions narrated by Pure Yoga’s expert teachers. In gazing meditation, comfortable cushions overlook graphics placed on the wall ahead and facilitate Trataka yoga practice.
This initiative follows the launch of ‘Travel Well with Yoga’ in January 2018, a series of inflight videos to help passengers ease into their journeys with meditation and yoga.
The Sanctuary by Pure Yoga is open to travellers who have access to Cathay Pacific’s The Pier business-class lounge at Hong Kong Airport, as well as Diamond, Gold and Silver Marco Polo Club members. Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon first- and business-class passengers will also be able to enjoy the new offering.
Additionally, Diamond and Gold Marco Polo Club members arriving in Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific or Cathay Dragon flights are given complimentary one-day access to any Pure Fitness centre or a choice of any Pure Yoga class up to 12 times a year.
