Destination Spa Group Reveals the First-Ever Spa Lifestyle Pyramid

Destination Spas from around the world recently unveiled a new health tool, “Pieces of You”, a Destination Spa Lifestyle Pyramid. “Pieces of You” represents the Destination Spa Lifestyle formula for achieving a healthy and happy life. The pyramid is the first of its kind that advocates the spa lifestyle and incorporates the individual’s whole life – mind, body, and spirit – as compared to focusing on just one aspect of health.

“The Destination Spa Lifestyle Pyramid is about the mind-body-spirit connection and the importance of implementing strategies to address all of them in a complementary manner,” states Michelle Kleist, Executive Director of Destination Spa Group. “Incorporating all components into our daily lives is essential for achieving well-being.”

The mind, the body, and the spirit must be in harmony with each other. They are connected, weakness in one may hinder another area’s development, whereas strengths in all areas can work synergistically. The Destination Spa Lifestyle suggests how to keep the pieces of you in balance and attain total wellness.

The Mind

The mind continuously yearns for more knowledge and is constantly active. Everyone needs to satisfy and control the mind by continually stimulating the mind with knowledge, engaging in creative outlets, and finding a sense of security.

The Body
•
• The body thrives from active movement and healthy nutrition during the day hours and abundant rest during the evening. Taking good care of your self by nourishing the body with whole nutrient-dense foods, exercising daily, and sleeping in regular patterns, will add enjoyable and productive years to your life.

The Spirit

The spirit is the life spark. It is a living part of everyone which encompasses our purpose. Focus on building meaningful relationships and strengthening faith to understand your purpose. Once guided, your spirit will grow.

The Destination Spa Lifestyle Pyramid (2-D or 3-D) is available on the Destination Spa Group’s website (www.destinationspas.com) and at all Destination Spa Group locations, where Destination Spa Lifestyle classes are taught daily. Examples include meditation 101, hike for health, hands-on cooking demonstrations, arts & crafts, fitness for home, journaling, and herb gardening. Collectively, a Destination Spa vacation provides the tools and teaches the skills for guests to start living the Destination Spa Lifestyle and ultimately achieve well-being.
