Let go of the pressures of everyday life - and learn to manage them upon your return.
The stress and pressures of everyday life can rob us of vitality -- and pack on the pounds. Emotional eating – a common response to stress (especially among women) – can scuttle even the best-laid diet and exercise plans. At Mountain Trek, we teach you how to harness the power of relaxation and how to creatively manage stress. Reducing stress can make significant and permanent changes in body, mind and spirit.
Your decompression begins the moment you arrive at our intimate lodge retreat set above a pristine lake with a stunning mountain vista. (And yes, it is as sublime as it sounds.) Here, Mountain Trek’s self-care expert Kirk -- a certified Life Coach -- will help you unplug from your daily life and shed your to-do lists. As you breathe in the pure mountain air and connect to the self that is often buried under work and worry, grueling schedules and too many commitments, you will find -- sooner than you think possible -- that the soothing rhythms of nature become your own.
Your days at Mountain Trek begin with gentle, regenerating yoga classes that clear the mind, stretch the body and set you up for a full day of challenging activity. The daily hikes, while strenuous, are also a chance to recharge your spirit as you trek through breathtaking backcountry. Returning to the lodge, you can soak in our outdoor hot tub, or spend healing time in our steam room or dry sauna. You can take a long moment for yourself, sit quietly on our patio and let everything go. And then there are the evening massages, deeply healing, therapeutic – and a terrific tonic for insomnia.
At the same time, Kirk will be teaching you practical skills in stress management. A motivator and a nurturer, Kirk believes that real change can begin in that “ah-ha” moment when individual experience meets with new ideas. His class, with its spirited discussion, probing questions and solid, strategic advice based on the latest research, helps bring you to that moment. Mountain Trek’s after care program makes sure you stay on the path.
