We love our beachside pina coladas, especially when paired with a hard-hitting sandy run. Hop on a plane, train or automobile to take a sweat-cation, so you’ll get off from work, not from being fit.
Plane
Bikini Bootcamp, Tulum, Mexico
This six-day “Bikini Bootcamp” may sound tough, but it has some softie elements to it. Sure you’ll do your share of Vinyasa yoga and circuit training, but you’ll also take a drumming lesson, get two massages, a Mayan clay treatment, work on that novel and eat the catch-of-the-day, with fresh-squeezed pineapple juice, every day.
August 29-September 4 and September 13-19. $2,135. www.amansala.com.
Save $250 per person when signing up with your mom, daughter and/or sis.
Train
Bollywood Dance Retreat at Omege, Rhinebeck, NY
After riding along the Hudson River for about 90 minutes on Amtrak, you’ll take a quick cab to the green (in color and sustainability) 32-year-old Omega Institute. Wellness retreats fostering personal and social change rotate each week. But on August 14-16 Hemalayaa, creator of “The Bollywood Dance Workout” teaches the moves that make the movies.
You’ll cool down with organic, vegetarian fare, kayak in the lake and have access to such soothing treatments like “Heart of the Lotus”.
