Wellness Reset at Castle Hot Springs
Need a wellness reset? Castle Hot Springs, an adults-only award-winning resort in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, is renowned for its holistic approach to well-being. The resort has just unveiled its 2023/2024 lineup of retreats, which are designed to align guests with their natural circadian rhythm, ultimately aiding in their quest for optimal health. According to wellness curator Colleen Inman, these three- and four-day experiences are a gateway to rejuvenation.
Upcoming Yoga Retreats
In September and May 2024, travelers can participate in a three-day yoga retreat at Castle Hot Springs. This retreat will explore various yoga and meditation practices, including Yin and Nidra, a deeply relaxing technique. Customizable itineraries include two wellness sessions daily, with all-inclusive nightly rates starting at $1,650.
Winter Wellness Retreats
The resort will also host winter wellness retreats from December 3 to 7 this year and from January 21 to 25 early next year. These retreats will focus on breathwork, desert hikes, outdoor activities, and meditation. Notable classes include “Wellness through the Five Elements,” “Cosmos and You: Maximizing Your Etheric Element,” and “Balancing Your Personal Elemental Constitution.” Each four-day retreat consists of two daily classes, with all-inclusive rates starting from $1,650 for the December sessions and $1,925 for January.
Enhancing the Experience
Throughout their stay, guests can enhance their experiences with dips in the resort’s famous hot springs, desert hikes, stand-up paddleboard yoga sessions, e-bike rides, and nutritious meals prepared from ingredients sourced from the on-site farm.
The Timing of Retreats
The new wellness experiences are intentionally timed according to the solar calendar. Kevin Maguire, the property’s general manager, notes, “The yoga retreats take place just before the fall equinox and early in May, leading up to the summer solstice. In the fall, guests can pivot from an outward to an inward perspective, which facilitates a natural reawakening in spring. The winter wellness retreats, occurring around the winter solstice, allow guests to explore deeper realms of themselves and their lives.”
