More than a feeling of wellbeing and contentment, you will have a chance to experience the supreme feeling of energy, control, balance, peace and focus to guide you to a lifestyle of quality and peak performance. You will leave with a feeling of elation, which you will want to go on experiencing day after day. The new knowledge imparted to you during your stay will continue to enrich and add value, encompassing peace and harmony in body, mind and spirit.
For a while, in this often exhausting and stressful world, we need to take the time to wander the path that leads to a quiet place of natural beauty and healing – THE HYDRO at STELLENBOSCH. Visit us for a journey to discover the natural health that lies within you.
Philosophy:
Born of a dream, The Hydro was founded in 1972 by Cleto Saporetti and Dr Boris Chaitow. Their philosophy was based on the fact that a vital energy exists within us all, which continually acts to rejuvenate body, mind and soul.
The Hydro has developed programmes that are specially designed to assist nature in rejuvenating these vital forces. In line with this, our simple philosophy is to ensure our guests unwind totally. By following the recommended programme, the stresses imposed by modern living simply melt away.
Nestling in the tranquility of the Idas Valley near Stellenbosch, the magical woodlands and crisp air combine to make this one of the most beautiful havens on earth. Here, nature’s benevolent determination to heal and rejuvenate is equalled only by the warmth and dedication of our staff, whose primary objective is to care for you.
Your programme on a typical day may include a massage, Hydrotherapy, progressive relaxation, yoga, guided walks and water aerobics. You are also encouraged to attend the instructive lectures on diet, exercise and natural healing.
Naturally we place great emphasis on correct food and nutrition. A selection of seasonal fresh fruits and salads are inventively prepared using only the finest ingredients. Although no meat is consumed on the premises, you will be amazed by the tasty array of fruit and salad dishes prepared for your enjoyment.
The Hydro does not recommend a frantic exercise schedule. At The Hydro our qualified fitness team offers professional advice and personal guidance in the use of the in-house equipment and facilities. You can also book a personalised appointment with the fitness Instructor to help you formulate a personal health and fitness plan. “Let your body heal itself.”
