Wellness to Whistler

FEBRUARY 25TH, 2011
Sometimes
one needs to go on a getaway to get away from old routines. If it's
time to shake up your makeup, consider a wellness weekend at Whistler
Creek's Nita Lake Lodge.
 The brand new Ashram Spa
specializes in traditional Indian Ayurvedic treatments, such as the
"Udvartana" detoxification massage that had us feeling like a human
chapati. A paste made from chickpea flour, barley flour and milk was
the basis for the gentle exfoliation, and upward massage strokes sent
blood flowing toward the heart so that internal organs are better able
to excrete built up toxins.
A rainforest steam room and yoga
studio complete the spa experience, while vegan meal options and an
in-house Ayurvedic doctor take it to the next level.
