Looking for spa with yoga

My wife, who loves Ashtanga yoga, is in desperate need of some pampering (and

deserves it). I'd like to find a spa that is a combination of traditional 'mud

pack,

facials, massage' but also offers Asthanga yoga. Loking for something within

say 300

miles of LA with a stay of optimally 4 days 3 nights. She'd be 'attending' on

her own.

I'd drive her there, drop her off, pitch a tent and meditate in my own way, then

pick

her up. We're working stiffs so price is a bit of an object but not the primary

decision

maker.

 

Suggestions and recommendations greately appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Doug

This is not exactly what you are looking for but depending on her

lifestyle it might be an alternative. I've been to Rancho La Puerta a

few times. It is in Tecate, Mexico about a hour's drive from San

Diego airport. It is style as more of a "fitness resort" with

relaxation and pampering. For people who like a healthy, active

vacation with healthy food. (Not a "fat farm", a lot of the guests

are athletic, fit, or well on the way there.) It is lacto-ovo

vegetarian with seafood twice weekly and, depending on the time of

year, a lot of the food may come from the organic garden.

Unfortunately, though, the yoga program is not Ashtanga; it is more

like a casual Iyengar for the level 1 classes and hatha flow for the

level 1 classes. They do have an Ashtanga-theme week from time to

time, but not often. They have a good morning hiking program.

 

Normally they required a full week's stay, but since spa occupancy

has dropped off during the last couple years they do allow shorter

stays provided the guest arrives on Sat, the official "arrival" day.

It is not cheap but for a full-service, all-inclusive spa, it is a

good value. They might even have gone back to offering to match up

single guests so they can stay in a less expensive double.

 

The website will give you most of the info you need but feel free to

email or post if you have specific questions I could answer.

If there are Asthanga-based spas I would love to hear about them.

I've found that most typical spas offer a less vigorous/rigorous

version of yoga so that guests are not intimidated to "try" it.
