MIND AND BODY The New Year promises a transformative journey towards holistic wellbeing as leading wellness establishments introduce exclusive programmes to nourish the mind, body and spirit. For those looking for a wellness adventure this winter or to kickstart the New Year by fulfilling new fitness resolutions, Bodyism is a host of exhilarating retreats and activities that are available and promising elevated wellness experiences. The options are endless, from crystal sound baths and restorative Ayurvedic treatments to high-performance fitness retreats, holistic healing experiences and exclusive pop-up spas. The holistic health brand and luxury Notting Hill members club has announced a new partnership with well-being expert and best-selling author Jasmine Hemsley. At 6:30 pm on March 5th and April 2nd 2024, the club will host a monthly event exclusively for Bodyism members. Running once a month for six months, the 60-minute sound bath gently guides members to a deep state of relaxation through soundscapes of harmonised alchemy to release tension and rebalance the mind and body. The classes will teach the benefits of using music as a healing tool as the room is bathed in the beautiful tones of crystal alchemy bowls, leading gently through a blissful movement, breath practice and finishing with sound meditation. Along with Jasmine’s monthly classes, 2024 will see Bodyism continue to offer members a bi-weekly sound healing session with resident expert Juliet Cohen and bi-weekly breathwork with practitioner Paddy Cavendish. Bodyism is the go-to gym in west London for innovative fitness practices with state-of-the-art equipment, including Reformer Pilates, Cardio Barre and Pilates Tone.

The chain-based line consists of delicate made-to-measure gold bespoke pieces tailored and fitted to each individual with few limitations. Opuluxe was created after Camilla noticed a gap in the market, with consumers being offered narrow choices and nothing truly bespoke. Her search for delicate yet durable pieces led her to believe she could create something new in the space as the choice was limited and often of poor quality. The company provides an incredible range of options, meaning pieces can be completely individual, from bracelets, anklets and necklaces to hand and foot jewellery as well as body chains. Camilla’s vision was to allow people to create the jewellery they wanted, removing intimidation from the design process and replacing it with a fun, affordable, and achievable service. The jewellery is a great way to celebrate and mark symbolic moments in life, whether creating a fun friendship bracelet or a piece that signifies a special bond between a mother and daughter. At consultations, customers will choose the metal colour and type before picking a chai from various options. The team will measure clients and decide how they want the pieces to sit before they are meticulously welded together while wrapped around the chosen body part. People can then add a unique connector or a charm to personalise the item further. Fitting time will depend on choices; a bracelet fitting can take 5 minutes, whereas a piece of hand jewellery could take up to 60 minutes. Prices start from £90. In addition to Camilla’s Notting Hill studio, Opuluxe has a mobile jewellery service that makes it convenient. Perfect for birthday celebrations, hen parties or intimate events with friends. If some peoples’ lifestyles do not lend themselves to permanent jewellery, it’s possible to add a clasp so it can be removed.
