9 a.m. Create a spa lifestyle at home (45 minutes)
Developing a spa lifestyle allows you to distress, improve your sense of well-being, and prevent illness, year-round. This seminar guides you through a definition of “spa’—sanitas per aqua, or health via water—and helps you understand how you can complement your spa visits with at-home rituals. Learn simple practices to create a spa lifestyle at home, from body brushing to water immersion to the use of essential oils.
10 a.m. Skinceuticals skincare analysis (45 minutes)
UV facial analysis can reveal photo-aging damage, the premature aging of skin due to extended exposure to UV rays. Based on availability (first come, first serve), each guest will receive photo-aging skin analysis. Guests will also learn how to pick the right skincare products, what product shortcomings to watch out for, and how appropriate application can improve your results. Seen in such magazines as Health, Allure, Marie Claire and on Fox News, SkinCeuticals combines skin care with science and takes a multidisciplinary approach to product development by forming networks with top scientists from the fields of cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, biophysics, and medicine. All wellness weekend guests will be entered to win prizes from Skinceuticals, as well as receive a 20 percent off coupon for one Skinceuticals retail item, valid during their stay.
11 a.m. Reflexology and Acupressure (45 minutes)
Reflexology is a body therapy based on the ancient theory that different zones of the feet correspond to individual parts of the body. Using the fingers, acupressure presses key points on the skin’s surface to stimulate the body’s natural, self-curative abilities. This workshop will discuss how reflexology and acupressure positively affect the body, promoting balance, muscular tension release, the promotion of blood circulation and maximum energy flow.
Noon. Lunch on your own. Try Breezes at the Lodge. Look for the Spa Shiki favorites (delicious and health-conscious choices) on the menu.
2 to 3 p.m. Hip Opener Yoga
Experience the transformative power of Hip Opener Yoga with Megan Sappington RYT. In this hour-long yoga class, we will open the floodgates of energy locked within the hips, both physically and mentally, through Vinyasa (postures linked with the breath), Pranayama (Breath Control) and Asana (deep stretch postures). Our work will focus on the deepest joints of the body (the hips), releasing chronic tightness, lower back pain, fatigue, and resentment. You’ll leave feeling a new freedom in your lower back, hips, thighs, and hamstrings. When the hips are free, so is the spirit! (No prior yoga experience necessary.)
4 p.m. Wine tasting and healthy cooking class
Sunday, August 8
Spa Shiki is open from 8:30 to 5 p.m. Schedule appointments on your own, prior to arrival to complement your wellness weekend experience.
9 to 10:15 a.m. Deep Relaxation Yoga
The perfect start for a bliss-full Sunday. Enjoy an effortless, amazing journey into the inner-self as Megan Sappington RYT guides you through deep meditation, relaxation, and yogic sleep. Gentle stretching will begin our journey into yoga postures lovingly supported by props. Strip away everything for 75 minutes, and give yourself the gift of restorative yoga, where postures are practiced in sublime bliss. Submerge yourself in the trance-like state of guided relaxation. (No prior yoga experience required.)
