2018 Wellness Retreats At Tenaya Lodge Draw Inspiration From The Awe-Inspiring Beauty Of Yosemite
FISH CAMP, Calif. (PRWEB) December 21, 2017 -- Wellness seekers can renew, reflect and reconnect in the beauty of the High Sierra thanks to a series of new wellness retreats from Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite. Offered on select weekends throughout 2018, Tenaya’s Yosemite Renewal Wellness Retreats are designed to focus on self-care and mindful reflection through activities such as hiking, guided meditation in Yosemite National Park, healthy eating, spa treatments and creative workshops.
The three-day, two night retreats are offered as a joint venture between Tenaya’s Double Silver LEED-certified Ascent Spa and Yosemite-based Balanced Rock, a non-profit dedicated to encouraging health and well-being through connection with the natural world. Retreat dates for 2018 include: Feb. 9-11, March 2-4, May 4-6, Aug. 24-26 and Nov. 2-4. Each retreat session is limited to just 30 guests, creating the perfect environment for an intimate personalized escape. Retreats can be booked online at http://www.tenayalodge.com/spa beginning Jan. 1, 2018 or by calling (888) 514-2167.
“Our wellness weekends strike the perfect balance between healthy activity and peaceful indulgence,” says Stacy Duncan, spa manager for Tenaya Lodge. “The itineraries use the beauty of our natural surroundings to set the stage for self-reflection and a renewed focus on living to one’s fullest and healthiest potential.”
The three-day experience begins at the AAA Four Diamond Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite, where participants enjoy newly renovated, mountain-luxe lodge accommodations. Guests begin their journey with a relaxing and rejuvenating spa treatment at Tenaya’s 10,000 square-foot Ascent Spa, which offers massage, body treatments and signature facials along with a state-of-the-art gym, spacious saunas and steam rooms. Participants are then in for a mindful experience with hiking, meditation, and yoga lead by certified instructors at Balanced Rock. While each retreat offers a different experience based on season, the transformational journey often includes an excursion into Yosemite National Park where guests are surrounded by sounds of roaring waterfalls, picturesque Yosemite icons, and the fresh aromas of the forest.
Back at the resort, participants wind down with Sunset Yoga followed by a delicious dining experience featuring carefully curated menus designed to recharge and re-energize. A wellness focused workshop is also part of the weekend and can range from aromatherapy classes to step-by-step instruction on painting a masterpiece inspired by the majestic Yosemite landscape. The retreat concludes with guests reflecting over s’mores and wine on the patio— a favorite Tenaya pastime.
