Hello October!
As I sit here typing this month’s newsletter I had to scoot off to pop on a light jumper and some slippers. It’s officially feeling like Autumn! Rather than heading into hibernation, locals on Mallorca often feel like this is the time of year to reclaim the island. From hiking in the Tramuntana to a bit of retail therapy in Palma, the throngs of tourists have eased and the pace is slower. We choose this time of year to get back into healthy habits, especially around movement, as well as taking more time for self-care practices that may have fallen by the wayside over the busy and social summer months.
GET FIT WITH SAVANNAH
Someone worth following as an endless resource of movement motivation is Savannah Spencer. Just 6 weeks post-partum, the online Health & Fitness Coach can be spotted around Cala Mayor getting her daily steps in with her wee one in tow, and continually coming through with inspiring content on her Instagram. Her online plans encourage complete mind, body & soul transformations via her in-App coaching. Whether you prefer to train at home or in the gym, Savannah has programmes to suit, plus she’s just added the Fit Pregnancy programme for expectant mums. To sign up for one of Savannah’s online training programmes or book a consultation call, follow the links via her website www.savannahspencerfitness.co.uk
ACUPUNCTURE & TCM WITH SANA WELLNESS
Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners believe the human body has more than 2,000 acupuncture points connected by pathways or meridians. These pathways create an energy flow (Qi) through the body that is responsible for overall health, and disruption of the energy flow can cause disease. Applying acupuncture to certain points is thought to improve the flow of Qi, thereby improving health. Sarah Hanline from Sana Wellness is a qualified Chinese Medicine practitioner and Acupuncturist with a special interest in women’s health and digestive conditions. She focuses on treating the root cause of imbalance, aiming to prevent reoccurring ailments. Sarah also specialises in cosmetic acupuncture and commonly treats stress & anxiety-related conditions, and muscular conditions among many others. Find out more or book a session with Sarah by contacting her through her website www.sanawellness.co.nz.

THE POWER OF POMEGRANATE
It’s pomegranate season and Amrita Ma Devi has just the recipe to utilise this fantastic fruit. Amrita is an Ayurvedic chef and health coach, and the founder of Ayurveda Anytime with over a decade of experience in Ayurveda. She explains how her delicious pomegranate chutney has all the wonderful benefits of reducing amatoxins and with sweet, sour, and astringent qualities it’s cooling and rejuvenating for the body. Pomegranate is a tridoshic Ayurvedic superfood with many health benefits such as improving gut health, increasing fertility, encouraging hair growth, keeping skin hydrated and protected, and reducing skin inflammation and acne.
