The Art of Soaking

Paid Wellness Experience $20 per person | $30 for two
Must have an Overnight Stay, Wellness Day Pass, or Ambassador Memberships

 

Daily, 2:00–2:45 PM:
While you soak, we’ll walk through how temperature, timing, hydration, rest, and body awareness shape the way you feel, both during the session and long after you get out. Nothing to keep up with, nothing to perform. You stay in the water the whole time. You’ll leave with a soaking rhythm that fits your body rather than someone else’s, and it’s yours for the rest of your stay and every time you come back to the water. (18+)
Duration: 45 minutes
