My theory on that, what you're going to get out of your body is what you're going to put into the body. The way I explain it to a lot of people is you want to think of your body as a well-tuned engine. If you're not feeding it right, it's not going to work right.

Close of salad. \u003cbr/\u003eWhen people in Toronto, Canada's biggest city, and surrounding areas need a break, many head for the outdoors. \u003cbr/\u003eLakes and forests are just a short drive away. \u003cbr/\u003eHundreds of people are discovering resorts and spas in the outdoors, such as Grail Springs, where they can unwind and be pampered in style. \u003cbr/\u003ePony trekking in the countryside is the perfect way to unwind away from the city. \u003cbr/\u003eThe horses at Grail Springs Resort in Bancroft, Ontario, just two and a half hours drive from Toronto, are gentle and ready to take experienced and even first-time horseback riders into the wild. \u003cbr/\u003eThere are over 100 acres of trails for guests to enjoy throughout the year. \u003cbr/\u003eThe resort is designed for people looking for a spiritual holiday - a break from their busy lives and ways to get centered. \u003cbr/\u003eAll of the activities at the resort support that intention, and the horses can even be involved. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Horses have been used more and more now with something called equine assisted psychotherapy, where its just the energy of the horse, and being close to a beautiful beast like this can evoke emotions from your past or things that you're going through now,\" says resident horse whisperer Richard Capener. \"And so they play a big role in mirroring your energy and having you become grounded just by being close to them.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe resort opened its doors in 2001. There are 13 guest rooms and two eco-friendly tent-cabins in the forest.  \u003cbr/\u003eRooms are $300 to $500 US Dollars per night, including organic meals, daily yoga and hiking, spa treatments and wellness classes. Most guests stay five to seven nights. \u003cbr/\u003eThe main building overlooks Chalice Lake, and there are canoes for guests to take out on the water. \u003cbr/\u003eMichael Egan is a former Toronto CEO who recently sold his high-tech company and is exploring a new way of living. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I really wanted to try and figure out where I'm going with my life, and hopefully I'm here for a good time,\" says Egan. \"So I'm looking to set new goals and I thought coming here by myself in this quiet environment and the spiritual side would help me in setting those goals.\"\u003cbr/\u003eLike many other guests, Egan has never practiced yoga or meditated, but he's interested in learning. \u003cbr/\u003eThe classes are designed to help guests stretch and strengthen their muscles and deeply relax. Learning to breathe and unwind in yoga postures doesn't come overnight, but it's a first step. \u003cbr/\u003eThe resort offers dozens of spa and wellness treatments designed to compliment the spiritual side of guests' stays. The treatments are holistic and people's physical, emotional and spiritual well being into account. \u003cbr/\u003eOne of the specialties is an all-natural mud mask, which the resort says is one of the best ways of cleansing and purifying the skin. \u003cbr/\u003e\"It is one of the most potent, revitalising, balancing and detoxifying substances in the world, so we use it here for our facials and also in body treatments and baths and wraps,\" says Holistic Therapist Andrea McClelland. \"It's been a part of traditional medical folklore for centuries in Europe.\" \u003cbr/\u003eCrystal Woodcox is a dedicated organic chef, and she makes sure guests have nutritious and delicious meals. \u003cbr/\u003eThis evening, she is preparing tomatoes stuffed with whipped hemp and eggplant, carrot soup, and an organic green salad. \u003cbr/\u003eGuests are also invited into the kitchen to learn to prepare basic dishes for families or single people that they can recreate in 30 minutes or less at home. \u003cbr/\u003e\"The food is the heart and soul of this place, I believe,\" says Woodcox. \"Sure, we're giving great spa treatments, but we're nourishing the body within. My theory on that, what you're going to get out of your body is what you're going to put into the body. The way I explain it to a lot of people is you want to think of your body as a well-tuned engine. If you're not feeding it right, it's not going to work right. So that's our goal here, and that's the goal I try and send a long way.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe resort lies in the Bancroft region of Ontario, Canada, north of Toronto and close to Algonquin Provincial Park, a well-known wilderness area. \u003cbr/\u003eThe region welcomes approximately 800,000 visitors a year, which generates roughly $80 million in revenue, according to Bancroft's Chamber of Commerce.\u003cbr/\u003eThere are about 30 spas, resorts and hotels in the area, although they don't all provide spa services.
