JW Marriott Chicago has introduced a wellness offering for guests that combines meditation, tai chi and yoga with the city’s architectural and historic landmarks.
WellWalks with VALEO are one-hour excursions beginning at 6 a.m. and led by wellness experts such as Shea Vaughn, mother of Chicago actor Vince Vaughn and creator of SheaNetics, a program that blends ancient and contemporary movements with eastern philosophy.
Walk routes include meditation stops at five of three dozen landmarks affiliated with the likes of Daniel Burnham, Holabird & Roche and John Wellborn Root.
