00:30As a way to invest in ourselves and lean in to the power of pause
00:34I'm Laila Humaira and this is Qatar in Motion
00:38Did you know that out of 197 countries
00:47Qatar recently ranked as the 11th least stressed country in the world
00:52That's pretty remarkable considering just three years ago
00:56The McKinsey Health Institute found that one in three respondents in the Gulf
01:00Reported burnout symptoms
01:02Wellness is the fastest growing sector within the tourism industry
01:07Set to be worth $1.3 trillion in 2028
01:11And countries all over the world want a piece of the pie
01:15But I want to know what wellness actually looks like on the ground
01:19There are plenty of ways to hit pause and reset in Qatar
01:22And for those of us who may need a helping hand
01:25There's no better place to start than the wellness resort that tops the charts
01:30Tucked away in the most northern tip of Qatar
01:35Zulal Wellness Resort by Shiva Som is the largest wellness resort in the Middle East
01:41The sprawling 280,000 square metre site has 120 rooms and suites
01:47With every inch intentionally designed for maximum privacy and pure relaxation
01:54Whether you're alone, in a pair or with your family
01:58Here at Zulal Wellness Resort by Shiva Som
02:02Guests choose between two wellness packages
02:04Each tailored to their needs
02:07Discovery is for families with children
02:09While serenity is for child-free adults
02:12Every guest starts with a consultation
02:15To determine their health conditions
02:18Identify their wellness goals
02:20And come up with a schedule for their stay
02:22That's what I'll do too
02:24But before that, I'm learning a bit more about the resort's approach to wellness
02:29With General Manager Ammar Samad
02:32Thank you so much
02:33Welcome to Zulal
02:33Zulal is the first fully immersive wellness resort in the entire Middle East
02:41And it's the first in the world to offer wellness with a backdrop story of traditional Arabic Islamic medicine
02:51The founder of Tame is a gentleman named Ibn Sina who wrote a book of canon
03:00The idea is there's holistic and traditional treatments, herbs, spices and teas that can be incorporated in the wellness journey
03:11To offer prevention from treatable diseases
03:15As well as sustained lifestyle changes that you will make and you will take with you when you leave Zulal
03:23While there's heavy emphasis on traditional Arabic medicine
03:27Zulal is also modern in every way
03:29The resort designs every treatment, therapy and meal around each guest's health priorities
03:36When you come here, you're going to sit down with a wellness advisor
03:40They're going to get to know you as a person, your lifestyle
03:44A very detailed health questionnaire is filled out by every guest
03:57And it's Dr. Bibi Aisha Lockhart's job to scrutinise the form
04:01And turn it into a wellness plan for them
04:04And something they can follow far beyond their stay at Zulal
04:08Today we'll be going through your health and wellness consultation
04:11You've just filled out the form for me, so that's excellent
04:13It gives me much better insight into your health and well-being
04:16And how we can take you on the journey here at Zulal
04:19So one of the retreats I would definitely recommend for you
04:24Is our stress reset and burnout recovery retreat
04:27And we'll put together your itinerary and schedule
04:29Based on your specific goals, your needs, requirements for your body
04:33According to your medical history
04:34The holistic approach of TAME as well
04:37Look at what your dominant temperament is
04:39And then that comes along with a herbal prescription from our apothecary
04:42And they will be customising the blend to your temperament
04:46But while the resort guides you to decompress mentally and physically
04:51A digital detox is completely in your hands
04:54If you think about it, with the smartphone or the tablet
04:59You're constantly switched on
05:01So what we try to do is promote digital detoxing
05:04So that you can focus on your wellness, your activities
05:08You'll enjoy your food more if you're not playing with your phone
05:12You will have a great workout, a great massage
05:15You need to just switch off and disconnect so that you can reconnect with yourself
05:19Okay Leila, I'm going to hand this over to Fatima, our pharmacist in the apothecary
05:24The resort blends centuries-old remedies with modern science
05:31Ginger teas, herbal compresses and intentional movement aren't just trends
05:36Here, they're a tradition
05:38I manage both modern pharmacy and also the herbal pharmacy known as apothecary
05:46I begin with interpreting the theme diagnosis
05:50And accordingly I will carefully select the herbs
05:54I prepare the combination with ripe proportion
05:57And also label with their ingredients and dosage instructions
06:02Blending the herbs is not just mixing the ingredients
06:05It's a pure intention and mindfulness
06:09I approach it with deep care and intention
06:13By wishing silently that let this heal the guest
06:16Every formula has an intention to restore balance in the most natural, gentle way possible
06:23Which support both immediate relief and long-term well-being
06:27I believe that the care and comfort we give is also the part of the medicine
06:34Whenever I work with the herbs
06:37It reminds me about my childhood
06:39Being from Kerala, the southern part of India
06:43It's historically known as the land of spices
06:45We are using the herbs in our daily life
06:48Not only for cooking, it's a kind of healing culture and identity of us
06:54My grandmother used to dry the herbs under the sun
06:57Prepare the herbal remedies
06:59Today I feel like I'm carrying forward that tradition
07:02But with added structure of science and professionalism
07:06I really love my job
07:08It's deeply fulfilling
07:09I get to help the people in a more natural way
07:12It's a purpose for me other than a profession
07:15I don't know if it's the tea
07:21Or just being in a serene setting
07:24Or the combination of both
07:25But I feel a lot more relaxed already
07:28I'm still thinking about my phone though
07:30So maybe I need to try the next treatment
07:33Hi, my name is Laila
07:35Nice to meet you
07:36Nice to meet you too
07:37My name is Anshuli
07:38This time, it comes in the form of a massage called Abhyanga
07:41Involving methods from Ayurveda
07:43An ancient Indian healing system
07:46Anshuli Nortim has been a therapist for the Shiva Som brand for 14 years
07:51So treatments like this are literally at her fingertips
07:55It's quite poignant that the word Abhyanga also means to nurture or love your body
08:01And Anshuli's firm but gentle hands truly make you feel nourished
08:06So much that you find yourself drifting away
08:09Until these sounds bring you back
08:13Contrary to what it looks like
08:17This isn't a musical performance
08:19It's a sound healing session
08:22A type of therapy combining different musical vibrations and frequencies
08:26Believed to be effective in improving psychological well-being
08:30We use many instruments like singing bowls, gongs and tuning forks
08:39Which creates therapeutic soundscapes
08:41So these sounds are helps to improve our
08:44To provide relaxation, reduce stress and balance the energy field
08:48As well as the nervous system
08:50Ultimately it will slow down our brain waves
08:53And put it in the very distance of the relaxation of our body
08:55Those aren't just any bowls
08:58They're known as singing bowls
09:00And they come in all sizes
09:02It's made by different things
09:05But the ultimate goal is the same
09:07Work with the frequencies and the vibrations
09:09To balance the energy senders for the emotional well-being
09:12Crystal, copper or tin
09:15The sound healing symphony has certainly helped calm my monkey mind
09:19Sometimes it is nice to disconnect from the grind
09:23And just focus on the sounds around me
09:26And it's in this stillness where everything becomes clearer
09:31The recalibration, reinvigoration and rejuvenation of my senses
09:36As if breathing new life into my mind and body
09:40To get a sense of just how much the wellness industry has grown
09:46Over the last couple of years
09:48Just take a look at the influence it has
09:50On global travel conferences
09:52Like the Qatar Travel Mart
09:54I'm here to get an expert analysis
09:56On how wellness has grabbed the spotlight in the region
09:59And the trends to look out for
10:01I think the world is changing at fast pace
10:04The way we behave
10:06The way we eat
10:07The way we travel
10:10And I think there is a lot of these things
10:11In transformation in society
10:13And in our behavior
10:15It's been too fast
10:16And I think a lot of the wellness now
10:18Is to try to recover and remember
10:20Who we are
10:21Meeting ourselves again
10:23And trying to recover from some of the
10:26Frenetic lifestyles that we have nowadays
10:29I think Qatar is leading a lot on wellness
10:32Not only because of the facilities that they have
10:36But also the approach
10:37I think it's quite a holistic approach
10:39So if one side
10:40A lot of the wellness tourism
10:42Is very individualized about high technologies
10:45I think Qatar is looking to a more holistic approach
10:47That connects culture
10:49Connects belonging
10:50Connects traditional healing
10:53And I think that is quite a niche
10:55And very specific in terms of wellness tourism
10:58I think there is a growth in interest in wellness
11:02Not only in trade shows like QTOM
11:05But also in academic research
11:07So there is a growth in academic research
11:09About the importance of wellness tourism
11:11So we start to see more and more
11:13The elements and the offerings of wellness
11:16And well-being tourism
11:16In different trade shows
11:18But a lot of partnerships
11:19In terms of how do we advance from here
11:21How do we embed a more complex and holistic system
11:25For the well-being of our clients
11:26The well-being of the tourists
11:28And I think this needs to be also in communion
11:30With the environment that we are around
11:32Rest and stillness aren't pauses in progress
11:41They're part of it
11:42In motion doesn't always mean moving fast
11:45Sometimes it means moving well
11:47And we hope you've been inspired
11:49To find your next moment of calm
11:51And linger in it a little longer
11:53That's all for now on Qatar In Motion
11:55See you next time
11:56You
12:00You
12:01You
