ROADS TO WELLNESS
 
(2017 - Fall/Winter Issue)

Writer: JOSEPHINE MATYAS



Life can be hectic. Runaway schedules, busy modern-day demands and the stresses of work and family life can all take a toll. Spa and wellness breaks may be just what the doctor ordered—a dose of beauty, calm and all-important self-care.

Spa and wellness stays are hot ticket travel wishes. Every major U.S. destination offers a selection of experiences, ranging from herbal to traditional, active to passive and urban to rural. Bring on the pampering!

Maine’s Sewall House Yoga Retreat in Island Falls offers personalized retreats where guests customize the length of stay to fit their schedule. The Sewall House is only an hour from pristine Baxter State Park, making its rural Maine location a true retreat. Various yoga styles—Kundalini, Restorative, Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Paddleboard—are offered and practised in a variety of settings. (sewallhouse.com)
