Manufactured by Hyperice, the Core Meditation Trainer is a new handheld device which can help spa-goers find their calm and improve their focus and inner strength.

Controlled through an app, Core pulses alongside meditation sessions and uses biometrics to encourage breath control and focus while ECG biosensors measure the user’s heart and nervous system. The app also displays biofeedback and insights to show the impact meditation has on mental and physical wellness.

Sarah McDevitt, director of mind technology, explained that spas are incorporating Core to complement existing services with mindfulness practices and relaxation techniques for the mind.

The Core Essential package costs US$179 (€180, £152) and includes a Core Meditation Trainer and access to basic meditations. Core Premium also includes a year’s access to more than 300 regularly updated guided meditations, breath training and soundscapes and costs US$249 (€251, £211).
