Lexington, KY (Vocus) January 20, 2010
With the shift in healthcare going from sick care to prevention, the mind-body-spirit retreats known as Destination Spas have introduced a wide variety of new wellness options for spa-goers in 2010. New offerings like college weeks, 2-for-1 spa experiences, Pilates for Osteoporosis, Bollywood dance and Gardening for Life add more wellness opportunities to the broad range of programs that a destination spa vacation offers. There is truly something for everyone. As of January, spa-goers will find all of these programs and much more at certified Destination Spa Group® member spas.
“Wellness programs are something consumers are always looking for and our Destination Spas are offering more creative options than ever before to help make healthy living a top priority,” according to Michelle Kleist, Executive Director of Destination Spa Group.
Discovery programs and theme weeks are a big draw to the Destination Spas. Here are just a few of the exciting and unique programs that are scheduled in 2010:
Adventure hiking & weight loss spa experience where Mountain Trek sets up boot camp at Rancho La Puerta. Learning to Thrive with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome at Green Mountain at Fox Run. 1st Canadian Living Food Lifestyle Program at Spa Eastman. Gardening for Life and For the Love of Books Club at Lake Austin Spa Resort. Canyon Ranch Weight Loss Program at Canyon Ranch in Tucson. Destination weddings at Cal-a-Vie Health Spa.

Grocery shopping field trips with a Registered Dietitian at Biggest Loser Resort. College Weeks at Tennessee Fitness Spa. Winter Wellness Getaways at Echo Valley Ranch and Deerfield Spa.
Fitness is an important component of a destination spa vacation so most top Destination Spas offer a wide variety of enjoyable activities, from the standards to the latest and hottest. This year, new dance classes are making a splash.
The Oaks at Ojai and Canyon Ranch in Lenox recently added Zumba®, the hot Latin-inspired dance class. Dance Jam and Retrobics have also hit Canyon Ranch’s schedule. Golden Door has introduced Bollywood Dance and Pole Dancing. Tennessee Fitness Spa has added a bellydancing week. Rancho La Puerta has teamed up with The Bar Method® to offer its new genre of ballet bar exercises. Pre-natal Exercises, Pilates for Osteoporosis, So You Think You’re Advanced and Core24 round out the list.
Relaxation and expert body care are equally important to a destination spa vacation. To that end, the Destination Spas have created new, result-driven spa therapies and skin care products.
Golden Door Skin Care line has been reformulated to be free of parabens and sulfates. Rancho La Puerta is introducing a new eco-friendly line in February. Lake Austin Spa Resort has created 25 new spa services including Skin Solutions Facial. The Oaks at Ojai has added Acupressure Massage for Metabolism.
