New Age Health Spa

• Recommended by MSNBC as one of the premier spa retreats in the country, the New Age Health Spa in Neversink, New York offers more than 280 acres of peace and solitude. A popular retreat for those who live in New York City because it is only a two-hour drive away, New Age focuses on natural treatments and spiritual purification to cleanse the body and mind. You can do downward facing dogs in the Cayuga Yoga and Meditation Center, climb the Alpine Tower or get your fortune read with tarot cards, along with dozens of natural body treatments. If you want to focus on weight loss, sign up for a program that is full of exercise programs including tai chi, yoga, body conditioning and aerobics. There is a two-night minimum; each stay earns you points that can be cashed in later on for reduced rates in the future.
