Miami, FL – January 29, 2017 – Turnberry Isle celebrated the grand opening of its new state-of-the-art facility, âme Spa & Wellness Collective, with an Âme-azing bash. The all-day retreat took place on the front lawn of the resort, where hundreds of people gathered to enjoy and participate in fitness classes, workshops and activities, which concluded with an awe-inspiring yoga class to a live performance by the New World Symphony. Following the daylong celebration, an intimate and exclusive 60-person dinner was hosted by Jackie Soffer, Amy Shapiro, Matthew Kenney and Dr. Craig Tanio of Rezilir Health™, under the resort’s century-old Banyan tree. Showcasing âme’s unique approach to wellness, guests were treated to various services as a part of a seven-station Chakra course. Anchored by a 31-foot teepee, the Chakra course offered mini massages, sound, color and vibration therapy, a himalayan salt room, tarot card reading, makeovers, acupuncture, cupping and more. An array of fitness classes took place for guests of all fitness levels ranging from Kellen Lemos’ circuit training and Magen Banwart’s yin yoga, to high intensity interval training and remix dance classes taught by Chris Cruz of Y100. Lunch was provided by plant-based chef Matthew Kenney while Doc Talks were held by renowned health experts, including Amy Shapiro, Dr. Jimmy Stern, Dr. Craig Tanio and Dr. Vladimir Turovsky. Attendees crafted dream catchers, made intentions with Modern OM, and sipped on Kombrewcha, a creative concoction of kombucha and beer. Magen Banwart closed out the festivities with a yoga class alongside Friends of the New World Symphony. The beautiful and memorable moment brought tears to Banwart’s eyes as the musicians began playing. The celebration continued into the evening with an intimate cocktail reception in the lobby of the newly renovated spa. Guests were then guided over to a resort courtyard, where they enjoyed a four-course plant-based dinner by Matthew Kenney, who welcomed everyone alongside Amy Shapiro, Dr. Craig Tanio, Rezilir Health™, and Spa Director, Tammy Pahel.
