Is there an age requirement?
Short answer:  no!
You know your child best. If you feel they would enjoy a yoga class surrounded by mostly adults, they are always welcome. We love having kids in class, and yoga is so beneficial for children. However, if you feel an adult-oriented yoga class might be challenging, we do offer private yoga sessions (for your child alone, the two of you together, or even the whole family!) as well as seasonal kids yoga group classes.
* For the spa, we do have an age minimum of 18.

I've never done yoga before. Is that okay?
I've never done yoga before. Is that okay?
Absolutely! We LOVE beginners. All of our classes are beginner-friendly, unless otherwise noted. You will never be expected to do a headstand or touch your toes. Come as you are, do what you can. Yoga is all about how you feel on the inside... not how you look on the outside.

HOT & COLD SPA
Why are the spa appointments 90 minutes long?
Why are the spa appointments 90 minutes long?
90 minutes allows you plenty of time to enjoy our recommended spa circuit, without feeling rushed:

  1. Rinse in the rain shower
  2. 3 rounds of 5 minutes each in the hot soak and cold plunge
  3. 20-30 minutes in the wet sauna

This gives you plenty of time to wrap up with a long, relaxing rain shower, dry off, dress, and get ready to return to your day feeling fresh and renewed. Your spa session also includes all-day access to our Silent Meditation Room, so you can turn your session into a full-day mini-retreat.
What is the expected etiquette in the spa? 
What is the expected etiquette in the spa?
All guests must shower with soap before using the sauna and tubs to ensure the cleanest environment for all and longevity of the spa equipment.

All guests must sit on a towel in the sauna and rinse prior to using the tubs.

Bathing suits are optional as the spa is completely private, and you will be uninterrupted for the duration of your appointment.

Please be mindful to treat our spa with love and care as you would your own home so that it lasts for many years to come.

Spa guests are subject to charges for damages and excessive maintenance, as determined by our staff.

REIKI
What is Reiki?
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese holistic energy therapy. Reiki translates to “life force energy.” It is the energy that sustains all Life. In yoga we call it Prana, and in Chinese medicine it is called Chi. When the life force energy is flowing well in your system, you experience health and happiness of body, mind, and spirit. When the energy is depleted or blocked, you can experience dis-ease in body, mind, and spirit. Reiki liberates the life force energy in the body, clears and calms the mind, and awakens the spirit.

What happens in a Reiki session?
What happens in a Reiki session?
We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to familiarize yourself with our facilities and enjoy our relaxation lounge. You'll be greeted by one of our team members and guided back to your treatment room with your Reiki practitioner. The room looks and feels like a massage therapy room -- cozy and serene, decorated with healing crystals and gemstones. There is plenty of space for you to store your belongings. So long as it's comfortable for you, you'll lie down on the massage table for your session. (Let us know if you are pregnant, injured, or for any other reason wish to remain seated.) You may remain fully clothed or choose to undress and cover with the provided linens. The majority of the session will be conducted hands-off within the "aura," or the energetic field surrounding your body. If you're comfortable, some light hands-on work may be offered. Your time begins and ends with a consultation where you have the opportunity to share anything that's on your heart, or anything you experienced. You have all-day access to our Silent Meditation Room and community lounge after your session, where we have tea and a reading library available.
