Health and Wellness for the New Year in Carlsbad

The new year is here and with it comes fond memories of 2017 as well as the opportunity to hit reset and start anew in 2018. Whether or not your 2017 resolutions were met, now is the chance to take a step back and set goals for what you hope to accomplish in the coming months. There are no rules for New Years resolutions, but thinking critically about your goals and committing to them is the first step towards achieving them. Earning more money, meeting new people, getting more sleep, and reducing stress are all on the table when it comes to looking for things to set your sights on in the new year. However, overall health and wellbeing are two important things that should be prioritized both in the new year and year round. Carlsbad offers some of the best relaxation and fitness opportunities in North County to help you incorporate health and wellness into your daily routine.

In addition to the amenities, the resort is home to the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. Deepak Chopra is a notable figure in the New Age movement and is known for his contributions to alternative medicine. With a deep belief that human aging is fluid, Chopra has paired with David Simon to provide the perfect place to come if you are looking to be renewed and healthy in the new year.

The Chopra Center for Wellbeing is not only focused on Mind Body Medical Consultations. The lush landscape within the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa offers everything from fitness camps to yoga and meditation, retreats, spa treatments, and a marketplace that gives you the chance to take bits of relaxation home when you leave.
