The New Life Hiking Spa is located in the Green Mountains of Vermont and was established by Jimmy le Sage. The well-known destination spa combines a daily hike, healthy meals, and a full program of spa treatments and workshops in comfortable 'country inn' surroundings. The spa attracts men and women of different ages and backgrounds, who come together to take advantage of the facilities at the Spa.
There are many activities designed to help people lose weight, de-stress, and feel fitter mentally and physically. Classes start at 7.30am with stretches and breathing techniques, and are followed by a hike and then lunch. The afternoon begins with pilates and yoga sessions, and other activities include excursions to the surrounding area and cooking classes. In the evening there are evening lectures and workshops where participants learn about the local flora and fauna, the history of Vermont's Long Trail, or have fun at the laughter workshop.
The morning hikes range from 3 to 8 miles depending on ability. The beginner nature walks take hikers through working farms and along river banks, while the advanced hikes take on some of Vermont's most challenging peaks. To relax afterwards, the spa offer many treatments including deep tissue, hot stone and Thai yoga massages, plus reflexology, facials and body exfoliation.
The dining experience at New Life is an important part of your stay. The produce is locally produced and seasonal, and is prepared to create low calorie and energy-packed dishes that are designed to aid weight loss and eliminate toxins.
