ASICS recently hosted an immersive retreat, bringing together a diverse group of women from different nationalities, ethnicities, and body types. The retreat embodied the brand’s philosophy of “Sound Mind in a Sound Body,” offering a range of carefully curated activities aimed at nurturing both physical and mental well-being.
The retreat commenced with an invigorating sunrise run led by ASICS Global Frontrunners, including Ania Gabb, Nina Ashton, Prakriti Dutta, and ultra-marathoner Natalie Dau. This energizing start not only set the tone for the day but also emphasized the role of movement in fostering mental wellness.
In addition to physical activities, the retreat featured a “Let Go” ceremony and a crystal mandala meditation practice. The “Let Go” ceremony encouraged participants to release self-doubt and embrace self-improvement, while the crystal mandala meditation provided a space for introspection, enhancing self-awareness and emotional clarity.
Team-building challenges, such as the “high-five” push-up, flag creation, and Karuta Tori game, fostered a sense of camaraderie and highlighted the importance of community in building mental resilience. Hydotherapy offered a tranquil experience, allowing guests to unwind and rejuvenate.
The retreat also incorporated artistic and sustainable workshops like Furoshiki Eco-print fabric printing and Japanese Sashiko hand embroidery. These experiences stimulated creativity, honed expressive skills, and cultivated mindfulness—an essential aspect of holistic self-care.
Sin Ting Low, ASICS’ Marketing Director for Asia, shared, “We believe that movement can transform lives, and this retreat is our testament to our commitment to supporting women in their journey towards holistic well-being. By building a community where individuals uplift and inspire each other, we can create a positive ripple effect that extends beyond a single event. As ASICS continues to evolve, we are dedicated to fostering a strong and supportive community where women are empowered to unlock their full potential.”
The event also marked the launch of the latest ASICS NAGINO™ Fall/Winter 2025 collection, designed by women, for women, celebrating the diversity of body shapes and movement styles. With the theme “Feel Comfort, Find Calm,” the NAGINO™ collection resonated with the guests through each immersive experience.
Maaya Fujita, ASICS’ Global Product Marketing Manager, shared, “The NAGINO™ collection is a celebration of the diversity of body shapes and the way women move. We are thrilled to see it resonate with women from all walks of life. By developing products that cater to diverse needs and preferences, ASICS aims to inspire more women to find comfort and their unique rhythm in motion.”
ASICS remains committed to growing and nurturing the ASICS Women’s Club, striving to create a supportive and inclusive community where women are consistently connected and empowered, regardless of their field or location. The brand believes that when women move together with a shared purpose, they inspire positive change in the world around them.
