Back for its third year, Glow Festival by Prudential promises a wellness event like no other as it engages attendees of all ages and wellness levels from July 6 to 21 at Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza and Rain Oculus.
The 16-day anchor event of the Singapore Tourism Board’s (STB) Wellness Festival Singapore (WFS) is targeting to host over 100,000 wellness and fitness enthusiasts alike, and is set to occupy 1,900m² of the iconic venue.
Themed Wellness Awakening, this year’s Glow Festival will see lululemon and PURE as curation partners as it rolls out a comprehensive programme of over 70 workouts and wellness workshops.
A new highlight is the lululemon’s inaugural Get Into Strides with lululemon – led by different lululemon ambassadors. This five-kilometre run around the scenic Marina Bay area is happening at sunrise every weekend throughout the festival.
lululemon ambassadors will also be hosting their classes at Glow Festival, offering participants the chance to join AARMY Bootcamp, AARMY Cycle, as well as Yoga and Chill and Soul Flow Yoga sessions.
With a total of six zones, four of them – The Oracle by Alpha Wave Experience, Virtual Reality sessions, Art Therapy, and The Bliss Room – are complimentary and open-to-all, while tickets are required for the Main Studio and the Recovery Space. The Recovery Space comprises ice baths, a Face Yoga Fitness Bar, and Therabody equipment, all designed to provide a comprehensive recovery session after workout sessions.
For nourishment, there is the Wellness Bazaar by Guardian offering health and beauty products, artisanal crafts and more, as well as a dedicated area with four food trucks offering an array of healthy and nutritious cuisine options.
In addition, Prudential Singapore has also launched a six-week mentorship programme, Project Glow Up, for aspiring wellness professionals, where they are given the opportunity to be mentored by experts in the fitness, F&B, and retail industries.
“Glow Festival has grown from strength to strength and for the first time, Glow will be the anchor event of Wellness Festival Singapore. By working with our industry players like Glow, we can showcase our diverse, unique and accessible range of wellness offerings in Singapore to locals and visitors and achieve Singapore’s ambition to become an urban wellness haven,” shared Ong Ling Lee, executive director, sports and wellness, STB.
Glow Festival founder, Martin Capstick, added: “As the anchor event for this year’s WFS, Glowgetters can not only gain access to the exceptional wellness programmes that they are accustomed to, but also will be thrilled with the line-up of immersive experiences we’ve added this year.”
Ticket sales for Glow Festival by Prudential are now open with early bird prices starting from S$29 (US$21) – each ticket will allow participants access to one class at the Main Studio and exclusive access to Recovery Space, alongside a complimentary drink, discount vouchers, and exclusive merchandise. VIP tickets are also available (from S$49), which includes a limited edition Glow Festival x lululemon T-shirt.
Ten per cent of the proceeds from every ticket purchased for lululemon classes will go towards the support of Samaritans of Singapore, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing emotional support and safe spaces to troubled individuals.
Cathay Pacific is set to redefine the Premium Economy class experience with its upcoming fleet of Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, adding 16 Premium Economy seats compared to other aircraft in its fleet.
With a focus on designing a premium cabin, the airline has taken a more human-centric approach in designing the new Premium Economy experience for guests travelling on their upcoming fleet of Boeing 777-300ER.
Set to fully deploy in early 2027, Cathay Pacific made major changes to the existing Premium Economy experience that it has been providing for its passengers since 2012. These changes are designed to make longhaul flights more comfortable for its passengers, which means that Cathay Pacific has to adjust various elements, starting from the seat.
While the size of the seat in the new Premium Economy does not change, the new ergonomics of the seats are more accommodating – improvements have been made to the seat padding and leg rest, and the new wing-shaped headrest. Even the LED reading lamp has moved from above the passenger to the seat, which accommodates the passenger’s seating position as they choose to sit up or recline.
Lastly, deploying and stowing tables in the Premium Economy class has been automated to buttons.
Even the entertainment system offerings have been upgraded. Passengers will now enjoy 15.6 inch 4K TV screens with a new graphical user interface when flying in Premium Economy. Passengers can also use their own headphones via Bluetooth pairing.
Cathay Pacific has also elevated the dining experience for its Premium Economy passengers, offering Jain meal options and plant-based options to health-conscious travellers. The airline also worked with several of China’s leading winemakers to update its wine selection for Premium Economy passengers.
Topping up the changes to the Premium Economy experience include two dedicated washrooms for these passengers flying on the Boeing 777-300ER.
Aircraft models such as the current A350s are candidates for this retrofitting in the future.
