Introducing Spark! Wellness Tours!
Leave the city behind for some fresh air, guided hiking, gentle outdoor yoga, a delicious local lunch, and a tour through the charming town of Beacon – known for its shops, cafes, and local art scene.
Our Itinerary:
- Bus leaves Manhattan at 8:00am on Saturday, May 1
- We kick off our day with a 3.9-mile hike through the woods and along the river in Beacon. We’ll be on a relatively flat, easy trail so this is perfect for most fitness levels. This gentle hike will take approximately 2 hours and will afford us beautiful views of the Hudson River.
- Our hike will be followed by a series of gentle, standing yoga stretching poses held outside by the amazing Kathy Hogan (local yoga instructor and nature expert).
- Post-hike and yoga, we’ll be hungry! So we’ll be having a delicious, healthy lunch at one of Beacon’s charming restaurants.
- After lunch, you’ll have approximately 2 hours to explore the town of Beacon on your own and experience its shops (such as the heralded Hudson Beach Glass), cafes, and art galleries. OR, you’ll have the choice of visiting the fabulous Dia: Beacon art museum.
- Our bus heads back to NYC at around 4:30p.
Join our community of health-conscious explorers for this great day outside of the city. Meet new friends and spend some time in the country!
Read what the New York Times and Time Out NY have to say about the town of Beacon.
Total cost: $79, which includes transportation to and from NYC, a guided 2-hour hike, outdoor yoga class, and lunch.
*** PLEASE NOTE: We have space for ONLY 25 people!! If you are interested, please contact us immediately at info@sparkyourwellness.com to reserve your spot. Reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis and we expect space will sell out quickly. ****

I have never been on a hike but I would love the opportunity to go with the Spark Wellness group. It would be a great kick-start to my personal summer challenge. I hope I win.

After moving from San Francisco this winter, I miss my easy day trips up north in Cali to hike Mt. Tam and the area around it… I love NYC, but access to hiking is hard to find. I’d love to have someone show me the ropes of the trails in the area! Thanks for putting together a fun day trip! Sounds like a great breath of fresh air.
