Bending to the latest wellness trends

Dozens of guests and associates gathered at The Westin Beijing Financial Street recently for a yoga session led by yoga guru Wang Yuan, as part of the Westin Well-being Movement.

More than 200 Westin hotels and resorts around the world celebrated the $15 million global campaign all week, inviting guests, associates and consumers to join their wellness events and programs.

"This is a very important initiative for us. Our recent survey shows that about 80 percent of the respondents are looking for ways to have a healthier lifestyle," says Hazel Ooi, senior brand manager for Sheraton, Westin and Le Meridien in Greater China, Starwood Hotels and Resorts.
