Bodywork and Destinations Special: Fit to the Core Adventure Never Felt So Good New Age Health Spa By Jason Daley
>>>> Neversink, New York THE VIBE: A giant golden Buddha may seem out of place on a New York farm, but the one peering out of the New Age Health Spa's 1,500-square-foot Cayuga Yoga and Meditation Center looks more than content among the resort's green-shuttered lodges and 280 acres of rolling pastoral paradise. The place draws quite a few nirvana-seeking humans, too—it offers one of the Northeast's widest arrays of yoga instruction, including the deep breathing of Vini yoga, the heart-oriented Anusara yoga, and the gentle movements of restorative yoga. Sun-salutation novices can warm up their joints with beginner classes, and advanced yogis can get a full flex workout with private instruction. New Age emphasizes a core "spirit" program built around chi kung and tai chi, which marry breathing techniques with highly controlled movement. Don't let the tarot readings and Vedic astrology lessons scare you off; some of the spa's 70 guests are there to simply watch bald eagles soar along the Atlantic Flyway. GUEST LIST: Expect lots of New Agey New Yorkers making the 2.5-hour trip from the city.
TO-DIE-FOR TREATMENT: Try the hour-and-40-minute healing-stone therapy, which includes a hot-rock massage combined with aromatherapy and chakra-balancing with gemstones. If you're feeling adventurous, sign up for the hydro colon therapy—we'll let you visualize that one. MENU: Dinner alternates nightly between fish, like seared orange roughy, and poultry, like chicken breast with polenta. HE-MAN RATING: One grunt—the yoga can be tough, but the outdoor fun is mild. PRICE: From $1,096 per person per week, double occupancy, meals included CONTACT: 800-682-4348, www.newagehealthspa.com
