RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO – Pursuing happiness, staying young and healthy, and learning how to focus on what’s really important without the stress of missing out, are goals that spa goers and people all around the world can relate to. For the second consecutive year, Willow Stream Spa at Fairmont Mayakoba is partnering with celebrated author Ana Paula Dominguez, Founder and Director of the Mexican Yoga Institute to offer Boot Camp to Happiness, a powerful, life-changing weekend this summer.
Today’s lifestyle demands people to be connected 24/7 and engage in multiple tasks, making it harder than ever to slow down and savor the moment without feeling anxious or stressed. “At Willow Stream Spa we believe that a spa visit must do more than just help guests relax and reboot their energy, it must also offer opportunities to learn techniques on how to cope with stress and give happiness the importance it merits to live long, healthy lives” mentions Roselia Flandes, Spa Director.
Certified in the Body Mind Centering program in New York City, trained in Ayurveda (ancient Indian medicine) at Poona, India, an Ambassador for Adidas Mexico and developer of the Corporate Yoga Program, Ana Paula Dominguez is one of the most influential wellness personalities in Mexico.

The workshop allows participants to identify what truly makes them happy and then mastering simple techniques to achieve it while maintaining emotional and physical health. It is a practical, fun and functional seminar with lessons that can easily be implemented on everyone’s routines.
“One may ask, why take this workshop? The answer is simple” says Dominguez, “To recognize the possibility of happiness here, now and always. We must understand the role happiness plays in our health; that we all have the unalienable right to be happy and to exercise it is our duty. Plus I cannot think of a better summer destination to star our journey to happiness other than the beautiful Fairmont Mayakoba”, she added”, she added.
In addition to the sessions with Ana Paula Dominguez, the weekend package will include fitness beyond the gym with outdoor morning yoga sessions, spa access, 20 percent off any Willow Stream Spa treatment during the guest’s stay, and a 10 percent discount in the Willow Stream boutique.
