from the director's chair
   
Is it just me, or does it seem like winter was very short lived this year? It feels like spring arrived in February, or at least that's what my fruit trees thought. I'm looking forward to spending the rest of the season - and the summer - working in the garden. It's the first garden I've had, and I'm excited about planting vegetables and herbs. Did you know that you can burn between 200 and 400 calories per hour while doing moderate gardening? Factor in raking leaves, and that count increases to 450 calories. Not bad!   ...read more

spotlight treatment of the quarter: desert monsoon polish

Summer weather means clothing that bares more skin. Book a Desert Monsoon Polish to get your skin ready for sundress season. The gentle exfoliation of the Desert Monsoon Polish is at once decadent and effective. The treatment takes place in our vichy shower room and starts with a loofah exfoliation. The loofah is enriched with Body Bliss' Turquoise Sage Yucca Root Body Wash. While laying on the treatment table, your body is then rinsed with warm water that will bring to mind Sedona's cleansing monsoon rains. (Note: Your body is covered with bath towels during the entire service.) The shower is followed by a scrub using Body Bliss' Aloe Bamboo Exfoliating Gel. Your body is again rinsed. The final step in this 60-minute treatment is a hydrating application of Turquoise Sage Jojoba Body Butter, which features lavender, sage, arnica flowers and jojoba oil. Ask your favorite massage therapist for more details. All Sedona Athletic Club member s receive a 20 percent discount on services.

Step up your game with tasc Performance apparel. The athletic wear is made from fabrics sourced from moso timber bamboo, which makes it feel softer than cotton while also allowing it to meet your fitness needs without chemical enhancements. The bamboo grows quickly (without the use of water or pesticides) and is responsibly managed. Ninety percent of the energy used to make each garment comes from a renewable resource (mostly solar). Shouldn't you feel good about your clothing while you feel good about your health?
