classes include zumba, barre, dance fusion, cardio-core circuit and more. One-on-one sessions feature personal training, private dance instruction, TRX and stretch and foam rolling release. Wellness activities extend beyond the spa. For best use of the fresh mountain air, head into the woods for yoga, meditation, EarthFit Endurance Hike or Run, or the Japanese-inspired forest bathing—quietly walking and exploring, with all senses open to every sound, scent, color and “feel” of the forest, buzzing in its bio-diversity. The goal is to “bathe” each physical cell in your body along with your entire psyche in the forest’s essence. For the sports-minded, there is fly fishin , mountain biking, tour kayaking, tennis, swimming and stand-up paddle boarding, to be followed by (of course) a Deep Woods Muscle Recovery Massage or an in-room couples massage, complete with Champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and a drawn bath. As rustic and ruggedly unspoiled as the resort is, there is simply no escaping the luxury. See www.stlouishomesmag.com for resources.
