Japanese Soaking Tub
Japanese Soaking Tub
Come relax, rejuvenate and reflect. Enjoy the Japanese Soaking Tub, a ritual practiced in Japan for centuries. Unlike a bath for cleansing, it is a relaxing, meditative experience, used to calm the spirit and restore vitality. The soaking tub enables you to sit upright with water reaching your upper chest or neck. This is an ultimate spa experience (spa = partaking in healing waters).
Your spa ritual:
~ Soaking in the tub will incorporate aromatherapy bath salts and magnesium flakes . Enjoy the healthy waters of Morgan Coulee Prairie. Untreated with chlorine or chemicals, the water is naturally rich in minerals.
~ A 30 minute soaking time is recommended (90 minute scheduled session).
~ The soaking tub can accommodate one or two people - tub is 3' x 3' with 2 benches.
90 minutes $75 for 1 person $95 for 2 people
Magnesium Foot Soak
Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays an important role in over 300 biochemical functions in and on your body. Magnesium is a natural anti-inflammatory and can help calm and soothe skin. Through the transdermal application (the absorption through the skin) a magnesium foot soak can help relieve and relax aching feet and joints. Your ritual begins as you settle into a comfortable spot, we place a warmed blanket over you, drape a warmed lavender wrap around your neck and shoulders, make sure you have a beverage to sip, music or reading material, provide a silk eye mask if you choose to meditate for a bit as you slip you feet into a hot cedar tub infused with liquid magnesium, sea salt and essential oils.
40 Minute Ritual – 1 person $35

Yoga of Earth: Come dwell within the qualities of stability and security created by connecting your energy to that of the Earth. In this practice, we will focus on grounding and rooting the body to provide a firm foundation. Stabilizing yoga postures, relaxing breath work, visualization and meditation will provide the framework for this grounding experience.
Yoga of Water: Let yourself flow into change and embrace the natural movement of life by allowing the qualities of the Water to guide your journey. In this practice, we will use gentle fluid movements coupled with cooling breath patterns and visualization to help release energetic blockages and to encourage the flow of your innate creative and healing energies.
Yoga of Fire: Support your ‘inner fire’ and fan the flames of transformation with this invigorating practice. Sun salutations and creative movement patterns that support purification and inner change will be the fuel for this class. In addition, breath practices and visualizations that enhance the qualities of light and clarity will balance this energizing experience.
Yoga of Air: Open the heart to self-care and kindness through gentle expansive movements and restorative poses in this soothing class.
