Gentle Yoga Classes
The literal translation of qi gong is “energy work.” It is an Asian form of gentle yoga incorporating slow movements and breath work that has been around for thousands of years. Much of it is performed while standing, though there are a number of seated sets as well. There are hundreds of systems of qi gong that have come from various lineages, but they all focus on the energetic well-being of the individual.

The Healing Benefits of Nature
The term "forest bathing" emerged in Japan in the 1980s as a physiological and psychological exercise called shinrin-yoku (“forest bathing” or “taking in the forest atmosphere”). The purpose is twofold: to offer an eco-antidote to tech-boom burnout and to allow participants to reconnect with the natural design of nature.

Light on the Hill’s cooks prepare meals in the lodge’s commercial kitchen. Meals at Light on the Hill are gourmet vegetarian with many vegan options. They use organic ingredients wherever possible. The cooks receive high praise about the food that is served.
Light On The Hill cooks are able to accommodate simple dietary restrictions such as gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. However, if a person has a more restrictive diet than this, they suggest that the person bring their own food. Those wanting meat may bring cold cuts and cans of tuna, etc. but no meat is allowed to be cooked on the premises.
