Miraval Life In Balence Resort
We had a great family trip to Miraval (no kids). This was a return trip for my husband and I and we liked it so much we went back over the holiday with our extended family. We do love the "mind/body" experience- this trip proved there was something for everyone.
There are a number of tracks you can follow at Miraval- you are not locked into any one program, and there are always more classes at any one time than you can actually sign up for (although my family did a great job of trying) Trying to simlutaneously relax and schedule yourself into every possible yoga, mindfulness, massage, or wilderness challange class sends a mixed message for your vacation, but everyone does it. Here is the best way to enjoy Miraval:
Pick your overall vision of what you want out of your experience, keep it simple, and don't worry if it doesn't all fit perfectly.
For the truely anal. Go to the website and print off the current schedule. for the time you will be there They send you a sample schedule in the mail, this is of no help. Once you have the actual schedule for your time use a highlighter and three different color pens to decide what you want to do hour by hour of your vacation. Yes, this sounds counter-vacation, but if you don't do it now you will be doing it while you are lying on a matt in the desert meditating. Also, this is a great chance to get really exicted about your experience and possibly get your husband to agree to attend an "Creating with Clay" class beause it shows up highlighted.
