Bella Hadid Embraces Wellness Retreat, Shares Workout and Sauna Routines

Supermodel Bella Hadid shared glimpses of her wellness retreat with Alo on Instagram, showcasing a series of workouts and relaxation techniques. In a series of posts, Hadid was seen lifting weights topless, wearing only black booty shorts and a headband. She later transitioned to an infrared sauna, clad in a strapless burgundy bikini.

Hadid's retreat included various activities, from reformer pilates to cardio sessions with a weighted vest. She also posted a mirror selfie in a towel after her workout, hinting at a massage to follow. The supermodel expressed her contentment with the retreat, captioning a post, "I've officially moved in @alo."

As a brand ambassador for Alo, Hadid has been associated with the athleisure brand for over a decade. In August, she spoke about being 'blessed' to represent a company whose products she actively uses and styles. She described her ideal of success as having the time and space to enjoy life, practice self-care, and spend time with loved ones, feeling present in meaningful moments. This perspective shift, she noted, leads to feeling more grounded and confident.

This period of focus on wellness follows a flare-up of her chronic neurological Lyme disease in August, which she stated caused brain fog and exhaustion so severe she fainted after showering. Hadid has been managing Lyme disease, a tickborne illness contracted in 2012, along with her mother Yolanda Hadid and brother Anwar Hadid. Despite the challenges, she previously declared herself 'finally healthy' in 2023.

She emphasized the importance of creating personal space through rituals such as slowing down, moving her body, and quiet reconnection. Hadid associates these practices with wellness and sees her partnership with Alo as authentic to her daily life. Other notable figures who have publicly shared their experiences with Lyme disease include Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, and Avril Lavigne.
