The start of a new year is the perfect time to reset – not with pressure or rigid goals, but with movement, fresh air, good food, and time with people who motivate you. A winter wellness retreat at La Casa makes it easy to do exactly that, all without leaving the property.

Gather a group of friends and turn the Mansion into your own private wellness retreat. The beauty of La Casa is its flexibility: you can create a program that fits your group’s energy level, whether that’s gentle movement, daily workouts, or a mix of both.

Begin the day with yoga classes in one of the open indoor spaces. The Mansion easily accommodates different yoga styles — from slow, restorative sessions to more active flows. The ballroom is a perfect space to roll out mats, play calming music, and move at your own pace. For groups who prefer strength or cardio, the open areas work just as well for guided workouts, stretching sessions, or bodyweight circuits. If it’s not too cold, the terrace will give you stunning Lake Okanagan views as you practice.

Cardio is built right into the property. Walk the trails above La Casa for a steady uphill and downhill hike that gets your heart rate going without needing equipment. Prefer to stay indoors? Turn the Mansion itself into part of the challenge. The multiple levels and staircases make it easy to create a stair-walking challenge, perfect for quick bursts of movement throughout the day!

Between workouts, wellness at La Casa is about recovery too. The rooftop hot tub becomes the reward! A place to soak tired muscles, relax, and reconnect. Winter air, warm water, and quiet surroundings make it easy to slow down and breathe.

Meals are another part of the reset. Use the kitchen to prepare healthy, nourishing food together – smoothies, soups, balanced meals – or assign teams to cook wellness-focused dishes. Sharing meals keeps everyone connected and accountable, without feeling restrictive. Maybe even host your own healthy-eating inspired cooking class!

Evenings can stay gentle or social. Stretch, journal, read, or enjoy quiet conversation. Or lean into the group energy with music, laughter, and shared goals for the year ahead.

A wellness retreat at La Casa Mansion isn’t about perfection – it’s about consistency, encouragement, and enjoying the process together. Move your body, clear your head, soak, rest, and start the year feeling stronger, calmer, and more connected than when you arrived.
