    Illuminate Your Skin With A Vitality Center Facial

    • June 6, 2018

    It’s fun to play outside in the mountains, but Vail’s high altitude sun is harsh on the skin. The Spa at the Vail Vitality Center offers an Illuminate Facial that encourages cell turnover and overall rejuvenation in the skin, so the dry and damaging climate of Vail won’t take so much of a toll. “When we’re in our twenties and thirties, skin turns over every 28 days or so,” shares Lisa DeKoster with the Spa. “But the older you get, the slower it turns over, so it can be more like a 50-day cycle. And when that happens, skin can just be kind of dull.” The specialized Illuminate Facial is a refining treatment that uses either microdermabrasion or dermaplaning to[…]

    Try Small Group Training

    • May 9, 2018

    Group fitness classes provide a lot of benefits to athletes. Working out with others at a specific time holds people accountable to show up for their workout, and individuals may also push themselves more when they have instruction. Small group training at the Vail Vitality Center is a way to achieve all the health and fitness gains that can come from a workout class or a personal training session, yet you can decide when to schedule the workout, who to share it with, even who will instruct you.

      Loving Ourselves by Karen Anderson

      • February 28, 2018

      “The point isn’t to perfect yourself, the point is to perfect your love. — Jack Kornfield How is your relationship with yourself? Instead of answering intellectually, identify the felt experience. Is there a quality of warmth and tenderness, or is it more cool and objective? Is it immediately comfortable, or is there a disconnect- like you’re not sure, or maybe a hesitation- like you don’t want to go there? Why does it matter? It’s like the air we breathe: so ever-present that we may not notice it. But how we speak to ourselves, how we treat ourselves, colors our experience most of the time. And since we are each our own primary relationship- and we are creatures of habit- these[…]

      Feel The Difference With CBD Massage

      • February 23, 2018

      Have you heard about or experienced the benefits of CBD? Cannabidiol — CBD — is a cannabis compound that boasts medical benefits, without the psychoactivity, or “stoned” experience, of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol). The Spa at the Vail Vitality Center is offering a new CBD massage treatment this season using medicinal hemp oil. “Cannibinoids are the chemical compounds within the cannabis plant that are reported to relieve a variety of ailments,” shares Lisa DeKoster with the Spa. “Cannabinoids replicate endocannabinoids — compounds our bodies naturally produce to balance and control communication between cells. Researchers believe that unpleasant symptoms and diseases occur when a deficiency or problem affects the endocannabinoid system.” By nature, explains DeKoster, CBD compounds permeate the cell wall and impact the many systems[…]

      The Secret of Life by Karen Anderson

      • February 6, 2018

      “The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do.” — Henry Moore Adyashanti asks us to identify what we value most in life and to orient ourselves toward this. I feel that this is the single most helpful thing that we can do in order to live a meaningful life. What is most important to you, is it love and connection, or is it the pursuit of truth and wisdom, or maybe it’s the creation of beauty? Let the sky be the limit,[…]
