Music is an integral part to the mindful part of exercise
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) April 09, 2015
Sound waves will swathe the shores of Lake Austin when live music takes center stage in Lake Austin Spa Resort’s new program for 2015, RHYTHM and MOVES. Austin musicians will add an exhilarating, pulsating component to yoga classes, cardio classes, meditation, cooking classes and more throughout the year and during music focused weeks once per month beginning in April. Featured artists include 19-year old fiddle prodigy Ruby Jane, multi-platinum selling songwriter Kimmie Rhodes and Sara Hickman, an Official State Musician of Texas.
Situated in the rolling hills of the Live Music Capital of the World, overnight guests of the 40-room destination spa will have access to these classes at no additional charge as part of the daily activities schedule in the all-inclusive resort offerings at the #21 ranked resort and #4 destination spa in the world, according to the 2014 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards.
RHYTHM and MOVES dates in 2015: April 20-26, May 18-24, June 22-28, July 20-26, August 17-23, September 21-27, October 19-25.
“Music is an integral part to the mindful part of exercise - whether to motivate or soothe and relax. We remember experiences all through our lives when a song comes on the radio or plays on our iPod – our connections to this therapeutic medium are deep and hearing songs played in a live format makes for a more enriching and meaningful experience,” says Robbie Hudson, Director of Programming.
