Buxton spa to open after 15 year saga Buxton Crescent Hotel and Thermal Spa will open its doors on 1 October 2020, following a multi-millionpound restoration, after initial plans were submitted 15 years ago. The opening, in the historic spa town of Buxton, UK will mark Ensana Hotels' first UK property – Ensana is the spa brand owned by one of Europe’s largest health spa operators, Danubius Hotels Group. As one of the UK's first genuine spa hotels, the 81-key destination will revive Buxton’s wellness and hydrotherapy traditions by making use of the town’s natural mineral waters.

R

esearchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine have found Kundalini yoga is effective in relieving the effects of generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) in adults, following a recent clinical trial.

Simon said: “It seems there are exacerbations of anxiety as a result of COVID-19 – people have less access to normal structure and their usual rewarding activities, plus, they may also be coping with economic challenges, illness and grief.” The research indicates Kundalini yoga could play an important role in dealing
