I just finished a week at Skyterra, and what a wonderful week it was!
The staff were top-notch -- they were warm and welcoming, experts in their fields, and provided the right mix of group vs. 1-on-1 instruction -- very hands-on with a personal touch, which made me feel that I was important.
The program was diverse, covering physical fitness, nutrition, mental well-being and health. There were many classes each day -- both active (I was doing something) and instructive (I was learning something). There was no push to "do it all," but rather to participate in the classes that made sense for me, and at my pace. And when I didn't want to do something? I could chill out in a number of places, including by the lake and/or waterfall on the property (both shorter hikes).
The meals were great, with 3 chefs on staff. All meals were made with fresh ingredients that provided the right balance of nutrients, and portioned to meet my needs based on my level of physical activity and metabolism.
The accommodations were great -- I stayed in a lodge with 3 bedrooms for 3 guests. Each guestroom was private, with its own full bathroom. I found the bed very comfortable. The shared space included a great room, dining room, kitchen and laundry.
I learned a lot about each aspect of wellness, and discovered that I have room to improve in all areas -- physical fitness, mental well-being, and nutrition, and that by doing so, I can improve the quality of my life. Now, I am working on incorporating what I learned in my day-to-day life.
I also learned the importance of stepping outside my comfort zone and being open to new experiences -- I was carried to places I never thought I'd venture!
