Civana to partner with Chopra Centre for new Ayurvedic retreat and programming
Arizona desert wellness destination resort, Civana, has announced a partnership with celebrity wellness expert Deepak Chopra’s wellness company – The Chopra Centre for Wellbeing. The collaboration will see the resort roll out The Chopra Whole Health programme, which will feature a selection of wellness experiences including spa treatments and a dedicated retreat. The Chopra Whole Health Retreat will be a six-day Ayurvedic immersion designed to provide an intimate group experience. Seven new Chopra spa treatments will also be rolled out in late 2020 as part of the partnership, all of which will focus on traditional Ayurvedic practices.
The Civana brand was born in 2017 out of a desire to make authentic and holistic wellness more approachable for the everyday traveller. The group was originally led by Kevin Kelly, who had been CEO, and RiannaRiego, who was chief brand and wellness officer, who together crafted the spa concept. In February 2019, Civana opened a brand-new spa with 28 treatment areas, following a massive US$50m (€44.3m, £38.2m) overhaul. Treatment areas include a Watsu therapy pool; two couples treatment rooms; three wet treatment rooms, including a Vichy shower; five facial rooms; and 13 massage rooms.
