Yoga Flow
Both group and private sessions will explore a variety of postures combined with the breath to produce movement in the body. During class you will be challenged to look inward and to bring awareness to your body in motion, observing how your body feels in the postures and adjusting without judgment. Part of the practice is to find the balance between gravity’s pull and your own opposing strength.
Yoga in a group class setting provides verbal instruction, demonstration and physical adjustments. Our group classes are appropriate for beginner and intermediate practitioners of yoga. Group classes are held from 9-10:15am on Saturdays throughout the winter season.
Private sessions are completely customized and tailored to suit individual needs based on experience, anatomical restrictions and personal goals assuring correct posture and movement throughout the practice. Please contact the spa to schedule private yoga sessions for individuals, couples and small groups.
| Group Yoga Flow (Saturdays at 9am) | $15 per guest |
| Private Session Yoga Flow (by appointment) | $80 first guest, $20 per additional guest |
**Please reserve your space in group classes with the spa, as space is limited. Please arrive to the spa at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of class and wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement. Yoga mats will be provided for your use.
Traditional Chinese Medicine at Capella
Chinese Medicine theory involves looking at the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of the person, rather than merely addressing the physical symptoms. It recognizes that each person is unique with different constitutions and ailments, thus treatments are tailored to meet the individual requirements of each individual person.
Practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) use a variety of techniques to restore balance in the body. These techniques include: Acupuncture, Cupping, Acupressure, Ear Seeds, Gua Sha, Moxibustion, Electro-Stimulation, Tui Na Massage, and Herbology. Our treatments use combinations of these methods for maximum results as follows:
