FOREST BATHING Slow down and take in the sights, sounds and atmosphere of nature. In 2015, after hearing of the Japanese practice Shinrin Yoku, Ronna Schneberger trained and brought this unique form of eco-therapy to Canada. Said to vastly improve your physical and psychological state, Forest Bathing will help you connect with yourself. Try it at the Chateau Lake Louise or Forest Fix in Canmore. -RM
SPA LIKE ROYALTY
EDITOR’S PICK
The Fairmont Banff Springs has often been referred to as the Castle in the Rockies, and the spa inside is absolutely fit for royalty. The Willow Stream Spa (p 41) has recently undergone a multi-million dollar renovation and refresh. It now offers an abundance of new services and spaces for guests to enjoy. With the addition of a hair salon, retail boutique, a relaxation room and new wing of treatment rooms, the spa feels luxurious and spread out. And as always, spa guests will have access to the saltwater pool, hot tubs and cold plunge pools pre and post service. -RYAN MASSEL 40
