Over and over again, guests at Rush Creek Lodge & Spa have expressed to our staff how important wellness and self-care are becoming in their lives. From better eating and workout regimens to meditation routines and self-care habits, the need for all-inclusive wellness retreats is steadily increasing.
Research continues to accumulate that proves consumers consider wellness to be a top priority in their lives, but the definition of wellness is changing. This study explains how the wellness category has expanded beyond diet and exercise to include sleep, appearance and mindfulness. Combining this with the guidance of physicians, consumers are now able to improve their overall health and wellness using the power of the great outdoors. One doctor explains that spending time outdoors has the potential to reduce mental health issues, boost Vitamin D intake, improve vision and better brain function. Visitors to Yosemite National Park now have the opportunity to experience each of these aspects of healing with a fulfilling wellness vacation at Rush Creek Lodge & Spa.
