The Experience
Arrive at The Hermitage where you can enjoy free parking for the next few hours.
You will be shown into the yoga studio to commence the breath work. On warm days, breathwork takes place on the yoga platform by the river.
The Swim:
During the winter, the focus is more on the benefits of cold water immersion and dip in the water for the optimum amount of time to boost your physical and mental health.
You can choose between Rydal Water Lake or the Waterfalls to take your plunge.
In the summer you will be provided an assisted swim in the lake or, should you choose, waterfall jumps are an option.
Breathwork:
The breathwork will relax you and help you land in nature and in your experience.
First practice filling the cells of the body with oxygen and holding your breath so that you can distinguish between your thoughts and their observer. It's a great practice in overcoming fear and anxiety.
You are then guided through a beautiful breathing meditation that will take you to a state of bliss and expansion.
Riverside Spa:
The hard work is done and its time to relax in the riverside spa.
The wood-fired hot tub and sauna on the beautiful bank of the river Rothay will revive your soul.
The sauna has a huge window and is like a nature hide. Just relax and steam while the river burbles by. Use the river to cold plunge and lay back in the hot tub with a view of Nab scar.
