Your Wellness Haven: Serenity Series at Aegle - Balesin Island By: Jessa Janella Perdio, Aegle Wellness Center Assistant Marketing Manager
With travel plans disrupted and postponed due to the pandemic, people have become more conscious about their health and wellness. Cabin fever was inevitable last year, which is why Aegle Wellness Center came up with Serenity Series—an immune-boosting wellness retreat at Balesin Island. The Serenity Series is a three-day weekend with varying wellness activities complemented by Aegle’s world-class medical treatments. In 2020, Aegle had Tai Chi, Kundalini and Vinyasa Yoga, Gong Bath, Zumba, and Pilates wellness weekends.
