Classes
The TAO Wellness Center will allow a space for guests and residents to transform ancient and timeless spiritual practices in daily pathways to peace and inspiration. This Center will offer both residents and guests of the Boutique Hotel “The Retreat”, state-of-the-art classrooms, fitness facilities, workshop and movement spaces; while programming will focus on four foundational areas of health and well-being: physical fitness; nutrition and cooking; inner-peace; and life-long learning.
The fitness program features the most advanced equipment for self-directed use, as well as fun, and expert led classes and personal guidance. Our fitness experts are among the best in the world and know how to work with people of all ages and needs to achieve the results that matter most.
The nutrition and cooking classes empower learners to enjoy the richness of food and the experience of eating, while accessing the power of nutrition to foster vitality and healing. We teach people not only what supports health, but how to enjoy preparing and sharing food in a way that embraces the spice and savor of life. At TAO, nutrition is not about diets and deprivation, instead we celebrate the place where cutting edge research meets, lifestyle, taste, and respect for the earth and our bodies.
The inner peace programming provides daily mind-body experiential classes such as various forms of yoga, meditation, and qi gong with accomplished teachers and visiting experts. Throughout the week classes, workshops and guided sessions will explore spiritual, mind-body, and stress management themes in a way that is both practical and accessible.
The life-long learning series provides a colorful spectrum of life enriching classes exploring local culture, the arts and fascinating ways of looking at our world. Spanish language classes, Latin dance, global dance, Mayan culture, ocean and jungle ecology, and array of creative arts classes are just some of the interesting ways our community will deepen their joyful understanding of the world around them.
