HOT SPRINGS & LEGENDARY HEALING WATERS OF THE LAND
Soak your soul in the healing waters of Northern New Mexico. Steeped in history and tradition, Ojo Caliente is one of the country’s oldest health spas, first established in 1868. Tucked between rugged desert cliffs and a cottonwood-lined bosque, geo-thermal mineral hot springs await soakers seeking healing and respite. It is one of the only places on Earth featuring four healing minerals in naturally sulfur-free water. Soak your soul in any of the nine communal hot springs or explore the miles of nature trails the land has to offer.
DAILY YOGA & MEDITATION
Guided by Jenn & Gaby our daily yoga practices offer a sacred space to nourish & return home to your Self. Class will include:
-
A slow, nourishing vinyasa to inspire embodied awareness and self-discovery. Using Ayurvedic principles and somatic practices, you can expect a grounded yet dynamic flow of breath and body unfolding in presence. Practice blends together intention, asana, pranayama, kriya, mudra and mantra with alignment principles woven throughout. All levels welcome with variations offered to explore your personal practice.
Offered Thursday PM and Saturday AM.
-
A delightful challenge for the brain and body, this is an all levels class that integrates creative exercises and movements, as well as yoga poses, to isolate different muscles, parts of the body, and their functions, all in the context of yoga by moving toward one “apex” pose.
Offered Friday AM.
-
Enjoy a deeply nourishing practice that includes a blend of self-massage, gentle yoga poses, longer holds, supported by props and bolsters. Allow yourself to melt into a place of relaxation and ease. We'll transition this practice into a guided yoga nidra with the accompaniment of the Himalayan singing bowls.
Offered Friday PM.
-
A grounding/relaxing practice with passive Yin poses done in stillness; combined with exploration of self-massage techniques using lacrosse balls to re-hydrate/release fascia (connective tissue) and bound up muscles.
