ALO HOSTS ITS FIRST GURAISH IN KUWAIT

To mark Guraish, the annual traditional social occasion that has been passed down from generation to generation throughout Kuwait’s history which precedes the holy month of Ramadan., internationally renowned lifestyle brand, Alo, hosted its first Guraish in Kuwait. The all-woman event took place at the Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya’s stunning poolside rooftop and was a celebration of wellness, connectivity, reflection, and empowerment.

The afternoon was dedicated to yoga sessions, sound healing, nutritional advice, and an abundance of delicious food to ensure the best start to Ramadan. The event empowered guests to find unique ways to bring wellness into their day and prepare them for the Holy month.

Tips and insights on how to incorporate balanced fasting for a healthier Ramadan were shared by Nayiri Sarkissian, a licensed dietitian and Yoga teacher. She spoke on how to rely on healthy habits and mindfulness to sustain overall health and well-being during the holy month of Ramadan. These included:

•To help avoid binging after Iftar, eat a balanced nourishing breakfast full of fiber, fat and protein.

•Drink lots of water during Suhoor, and between Iftar and bedtime.

•Eat balanced meals at Iftar and get your nutrients with plenty of veggies.

•Enjoy fun foods with intention. Practice mindfulness to savour your food experiences without overeating.

•Give yourself 20-30 minutes to consume your meals mindfully.

The venue was the perfect canvas that encapsulated the essence of the Los Angeles-based yoga gear and activewear from Alo.
