JW Marriott x Nora Tobin Retreat

JW Marriott recently welcomed health and wellness guru Nora Tobin as their wellness ambassador, and this girl really knows how to kick it into gear.

As Wellness Ambassador, Nora Tobin has been working with JW Marriott to bring a number of different wellness experiences to guests of JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts.

One such experience is the FitnessOnDemand video series that gives guests the opportunity to experience yoga, mindfulness, and HIIT right in the comfort of your own room.

Whether you’ve got 3 minutes, or 30, these videos give you a great way to hit the “reset” button and get some wellness in while on vacation.

In addition to the FitnessOnDemand, guests can also enjoy in their own rooms a new juice and smoothie in-room dining menu.

With recipes created by Nora herself, these new drinks are guaranteed to bring you some massively healthy benefits, without sacrificing great taste.

The Forest Rehab smoothie is made up of:

• Wild honey
• Acai
• Banana
• Cinnamon
• Greek yogurt

And the Power Potion juice is a blend of:

• Wheat grass
• Red grape
• Celery

With one of these drinks in you, you’ll feel refreshed, revitalized, and ready to go!

However, the most exciting part about the new partnership between Nora Tobin and JW Marriott comes in the form of the most dreamy wellness retreats imaginable.

A series of retreats hosted by Nora kicked off in January at JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort, and four others are soon to follow at the JW Marriott properties in Los Cabos, Austin, Desert Ridge, and Marco Island.

Over the course of three to four days, you will go into a magical world of wellness that sends you through a vortex of serious transformation.

The itinerary designed for the retreat feeds your body as well as your mind. From sunset yoga amongst stunning flowers and mountains, to an intense HIIT workout followed by a massive hike up Camelback Mountain, there is wellness oozing at every turn here.

And each location will offer different activities to fit to your environment.

In addition to all the exercise adventures you’ll be embarking on, your taste buds will be going on an adventure as well as you are well-nourished via incredible food prepared by the resort’s in-house chef.

The food you’ll be chowing down on includes recipes concocted by Nora herself, and trust us, you are going to go crazy over what is served on your plate (especially Nora’s almond flour chocolate chip cookies -- we dare you to have just two).

Everything you eat at the retreat is fresh and nutritious, but we promise you don’t have to give up wine or cocktails while you’re here.

Nora and the culinary team at each retreat location have hand-picked the healthiest wines, as well as created recipes for the healthiest cocktails so you don’t feel like you are missing out.

When you’re not sweating your face off, or stuffing your face with food, you’ll either be:

• Relaxing in the spa
• Journaling

The spa treatments as part of this retreat are the perfect recovery from your days of hard work. And we are not kidding around -- if you think you’re in great shape, prepare to have your world rocked (in the best way).

But indulging in a facial or a massage is guaranteed to rejuvenate your mind and body.

Speaking of rejuvenation, you’ll also love the journaling portion of the retreat. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a book that will be your bff throughout the entire trip, and serve as your safe space to journal all of your feelings about the retreat and about life.

This multi-sensory wellness experience is guaranteed to change your life in some truly incredible ways. But don’t wait too long to get on the list -- these retreats are limited to just a handful of people, and are filling up fast.
