Facilities & Amenities
It's all in the name: the New Life Hiking Spa is well known for its accessible hiking program tailored to all fitness abilities. Beginners enjoy the rolling hills of a gentle walk through the sunny Vermont forests; intermediate hikers can try their footing on the famous Appalachian Long Trail; advanced hikers may climb to the peaks of Pico or Killington where elevations reach more than 4,000 feet. The facility offers a variety of fitness classes in an outdoor pavilion, the guidance of four certified yoga instructors, and expert hiking guides. Guests can also try Chi Kung, a Chinese practice of "energy training" that is a combination of breathing and exercise techniques to energize the mind and body. Evening programs consist of a range of wellness lectures and workshops, among which are cooking demonstrations, reflexology, games, and overviews of the natural beauty of Vermont. Jimmy LeSage, M.S., also gives lectures to clear up the confusion about many popular diets.
