Relax and recharge this summer at the Mirbeau Inn & Spa in New York’s Finger Lakes wine region during the Mind, Body and Soul Escape. This intimate two-day wellness retreat blends traditional yoga with stand-up paddleboarding, giving participants the chance to practice poses over the clear waters of Skaneateles Lake while improving balance, strength and focus.
Taking place July 12–13, the retreat is priced at $275 per person. Guests who reserve an overnight stay at the 34-room Mirbeau are eligible for a reduced room rate of $260 per night for Sunday and Monday, making it easy to extend the restorative experience.
The schedule begins Sunday evening with a yoga session geared toward athletes on the Monet Deck at 5 p.m. That session is followed by a welcome dinner at 7 p.m., which includes a nutrition consultation and an introductory dry-land overview of paddleboarding techniques.
Monday’s program starts with water-safety instruction paired with a power breakfast and fresh juices to fuel participants for the day. Afterward, attendees take part in a paddle-boarding cardio workout on Skaneateles Lake that blends aerobic conditioning with core and balance training. A picnic lunch in the park includes another nutrition consultation, and a yoga session at 1 p.m. helps ease the body back toward relaxation. The day concludes with a gentle stretch to restore muscles and calm the mind.
During the retreat, participants may book treatments at Spa Mirbeau with a 20 percent discount. This season the spa is featuring special off-menu treatments using natural products from FarmHouse Fresh, including a Golden Pear Body Scrub and a Coconut Grove manicure and pedicure. Spa facilities support the restorative experience and include an aqua terrace Jacuzzi, heated foot pool, dry sauna, a tranquil resting area and a well-equipped fitness center.
Set on 10 acres of Monet-inspired gardens, Mirbeau Inn & Spa is surrounded by spruce forests, rolling hills and clear lakes. Located in the heart of the Finger Lakes, and within reach of more than 100 wineries, the property provides a serene backdrop for a restorative weekend focused on movement, nutrition and relaxation.
