Twin Farms, Barnard, Vermont

Twin Farms is an all-inclusive Relais & Chateaux property and the only five-star resort in Vermont situated on lush meadowlands in Barnard, VT. Each accommodation is unique and the culinary program is incomparable to anywhere else in the Northeast. Set amidst 300 acres of meadows and woodlands, Twin Farms just unveiled a new yoga deck and programming that is perfect to visit this fall to witness stunning New England fall foliage. The new programming includes a variety of yoga practices including Sunrise yoga, Gentle Flow Yoga, Restorative Yoga and yoga hikes. In addition to yoga, TRX Suspension Training, SMR Foam Rolling, Core-Balance-Stretch and Strength Training are now offered on property.

In addition to the new yoga deck, Twin Farms offers an incredible wellness program with its Spa Facility, which is for the exclusive use of Twin Farms' male and female guests. Custom designed treatments include hydrotherapy, luxuriant facials, rejuvenating manicures, pedicures and exquisite multi-layered body treatments. The signature line of Out of the Woods spa products are handcrafted in Bath, England. These botanical preparations are made with plant-based extracts, organic herbal infusions and pure essential oils.

Finally, CorePower Yoga, the nation's leading yoga studio brand, is teaming up with Twin Farms on August 28-29 for an exclusive woodland yoga retreat. These classes will be taught on the 300 acre property's new expansive yoga deck, which wraps around a stream overlooking the Green Mountains.

Guests will get the chance to experience stream-side yoga classes led by CorePower Yoga's expert instructors, cooking demonstrations with award-winning Executive Chef Nathan Rich, a breakfast juice bar and healthy in-room amenities, all included in the stay. Twin Farms offers guests a range of on-site activities to enjoy during their stay such as hiking, biking, tennis, pond swimming, fly fishing and canoeing. In addition, to the yoga retreat and complimentary on-property activities, guests can take advantage of the Furo, a 104 degree Japanese style soaking tub (clothing optional) to truly cleanse and revitalize the mind and spirit.

Even better, this is the second retreat hosted between CorePower Yoga and Twin Farms for guests to indulge in a weekend of relaxing the body, mind and soul. All-inclusive rates start at $1,650/night based on double occupancy. www.twinfarms.com
