The Sea To Sky's Newest Wellness Day Retreat : Detoxify Your Body & Nurture Your Soul
At last, there is a new Wellness Day Retreat in the Sea to Sky that combines the healing combination of hot/cold therapy, aerial yoga & meditation, all in a beautiful natural setting, right in the Squamish Valley. If you’re part of the cold plunge community, love or want to give aerial yoga a try, or just need to take some time to reconnect to nature and yourself, this is the perfect BC retreat for you.
We invite you to retreat into the woods with us at the luxurious Aika Spa. Give yourself permission to indulge in this exclusive day retreat of health and wellness that will nurture your soul.
The day begins with a beginner friendly Outdoor Aerial Yoga Practise where you will decompress; a gentle and replenishing journey inwards supported by the hammock.
This is a deep stretch and a grounding flow. Aerial Yoga allows us to get deeper into stretches and the hammock acts as a teacher holding and supporting you throughout your practise.
This one hour class will leave you feeling open, stretched and energized for the rest of the retreat.
If this is your first aerial yoga experience, we are excited to guide you through - we’re sure it won’t be your last!
Next, open your heart, clear your mind and ground your soul in an intimate Cacao Ceremony, a beautiful medicine of the divine feminine lead by Neve Peterson.
Expect to experience an environment where you can connect with yourself, the group surrounding you and the ancient properties of cacao. The group will be led through a cacao blessing, where you will learn about the cacao and it’s preparation. You will be guided through an intention and meditation and the ceremony will be concluded with giving thanks.
You will leave this ceremony with your mood elevated and heart feeling more open, empathetic and grateful.
End the retreat experience with detoxifying and rejuvenating your body and mind with 2.5 hours of Hot/Cold Therapy. Experience the rustic luxury of private access to the beautiful wood fired sauna and outdoor cold plunge baths. Relax around the fire and gaze up at the mountains surrounding you.
There are so many benefits that hydrotherapy can bring you. Improved circulation, reduced pain, elevated mood, increased energy and improved circulation to name a few.
Throughout your 2.5 hrs in the Aika Cycle experience you will get to fully experience two-three full repetitions of the cycle: Hot, Cold, Rest, Repeat.
Throughout this time, allow the heat and humidity of the sauna to take hold, the cold plunge bath will awaken your mind and body and invoking an adaptive physiological response that provides numerous science-based health benefits.
