Five Days to Detox and Rejuvenate 
Day 1 - Get a massage

The first step when you arrive in the beautiful and scenic North Carolina mountains is to get into relaxation mode. There are few methods as effective as a massage from one of the numerous Asheville area day spas and spa resorts. If you want a truly unique Asheville experience, book a massage in a pagoda overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains at the Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa.
Day 2 - Detox Your Mind and Body

Working hard five days a week takes its toll on your body. Not only are you stressed, but you are often forced to grab junk food or fast food. Give your body a chance to detox of all these elements with a local detox treatment. Blue Lotus Ayurveda, for instance, offers numerous detoxifying and relaxing treatments, as well as health consultations and workshops.

Day 3 - Escape to Nature

There are incredible views throughout the area, and a great way to find inner peace from the annoying onslaught of worries, mental to-do lists and deadlines is to simply take a hike, get to the top of a mountain and look around you. There are several great hikes (some leading to waterfalls) in the area. Western North Carolina, with the highest peaks in the entire Eastern U.S., is an ideal place to get up high and soak in the scenery.

Day 4 - Healing at Hot Springs

Take a daytrip to nearby Hot Springs, a short drive from Asheville at the junction of the French Broad River and the Appalachian Trail. Soak in the hot mineral springs here, which have healed and relaxed visitors since Native Americans discovered it hundreds of years ago.

Day 5 - Take a Yoga Class

There are numerous benefits to yoga, and Asheville is the ultimate destination to learn and practice yoga. There are a dozen yoga centers in the city alone, and most allow visitors to drop-in for various daily classes. Asheville Yoga Center, for example, offers several daily drop-in classes like gentle yoga, kids yoga, prenatal yoga and hot flow yoga.
