It is only a few short weeks until our Spring Wine TasteInn! These very popular events are always fun and informative and include dinner with Innkeepers Terry and Ellen, select wines, and a fabulous dinner in our award-winning restaurant.

POLARITY THERAPY AND AYURVEDIC MEDICINE

Sunday, March 11th, we will be hosting our final Holistic Health Now seminar through The Institute of Holistic Health Careers. These very popular workshops have included topics such as Using Herbs to Improve Your Quality of Health and Reflexology, Stress Management, and Supplements.


The final seminar, led by Mary Jo Ruggieri, Director of The Institute of Holistic Health Careers 'Education Wellness Professionals', is titled Polarity Therapy and Ayurvedic Medicine, and is promising to be just as interesting and well attended as the others have been.


Polarity Therapy is the practice of using energetic touch, reflex, and acupressure points to balance energy flow in the body. Polarity involves energetic exercise, bodywork, polarity yoga stretches, and food awareness, and is often used to reduce stress, increase energy, decrease anxiety, support better sleep, and much more.


Ayurvedic Medicine is an ancient practice of using herbs, massage, Yoga, and other methods to prevent disease and give one peace of mind. It is based on the belief that every human has three universal qualities: satva, rajas, and tamas. Developing a balance or equilibrium among these three qualities leads to health and well-being.


As with our other Holistic Health Now seminars, there will be a drawing afterward for a gift certificate for Holistic Health classes and products. So plan to join us April 11 from 1-4pm! Make sure to stay for dinner in our award-winning restaurant! Contact the Inn to make your reservation.

NEW SPA TREATMENTS AT THE INN

We are very excited to add Thai Yoga Massage to our list of spa treatments offered at the Inn!


As we've recently posted, Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient art which uses a series of yoga postures, as well as palming and thumbing along the body's energy lines and pressure points, to heal the mind, body, and spirit. Together, these treatments relieve muscular tension, improve circulation, boost the immune system, and balance the body energetically. Performed on a mat on the floor, both client and practicioner are fully dressed in comfortable clothes to allow ease of movement and flexibility.


I just had my first treatment and loved it! It is just as relaxing as a therapeutic massage, but with the added element of stretches and releases.


Some of our other spa treatments include Polarity Therapy, Relaxation Massage, Reflexology, Hot Stone Massage, Pregnancy Massage, and much more.


Join us at the Inn this spring and you'll return home pampered, rested, and relaxed!
