Everything You Should Know About The Spa Experience

I was very young and inexperienced the first time I visited a spa. It was 1975 and the publisher of the magazine for which I wrote a monthly beauty column sent me to the creme de la creme of spas, THE GOLDEN DOOR.

There were only seven guests the week of Thanksgiving and we bonded immediately. Being together in a beautiful setting with experts dedicated to making us healthy was exciting. We eagerly awaited what they had planned for us.

Since then, I have tried to spend time each year at a spa and have done my best to convince my friends that they should at least try this rejuvenating experience. If you have never spent time at a spa I'm here to tell you that it is not a luxury or an expenditure you should not make. Today, there are spas of all sizes for women (men too) of all sizes and budgets.

The trick is to choose a spa that is right for you. It's simply a matter of knowing what you want , then researching to find the spa that will give it to you. Want to focus on fitness? Most spas offer a menu of varied fitness classes, ie: dance, pool and tai chi are some of the basic classes. The Pilates Reformer was introduced in a few upscale spas about seven years ago and is now offered at some moderately priced spas. Pilates mat classes have become very popular throughout the spa community.
My goal is to answer any questions and keep you informed on this healthful and very necessary way to vacation based upon my personal experience.

HOORAY FOR SPAS:

Sylvia visited one of the first luxury spas to open its doors when she was a very young woman and soon recognized the stress-reducing value of spas . Since that time she has been a spa enthusiast endeavoring to bring the message of the value of a spa retreat.

Now, Sylvia writes mostly about spas telling her readers about the amenities of a spa retreat. She advocates for spa vacations endeavoring to encourage friends and family to experience what she considers to be an important and beneficial means of enhancing health.

Her interest in New Age Therapies has led Sylvia to research and experience first hand methods offered at dedicated spas(where one resides for a period of three to seven nights) so she can tell her readers all about them. Her enthusiasm for these therapies has led to keeping up on the latest treatments in the spa world.
