On Middle Fork of the Salmon River
SUN VALLEY, ID, July 17, 2012– A leading fitness professional on the staff of Baja’s award-winning Rancho La Puerta is leading six-day/five-night Whitewater Wellness Weeks Aug. 27-Sept. 1 and Sept. 6-11 on luxury river rafting vacations hosted by Idaho’s Far and Away Adventures http://far-away.com/. The all-inclusive per-person rate is from $2,750.
In an adults-only atmosphere while rafting the Middle Fork of the Salmon, private wellness and fitness counseling and activities will be led byMargie Caldwell Cooper. A fitness educator, relaxation trainer and former competitive swimmer from Santa Barbara, CA, Cooper was designated Aquatic Exercise Association Global Fitness Professional of the Year in 2006.
In a pristine riverside setting, Cooper will introduce new and advanced stretching techniques and lead daily warm-up and yoga sessions before each active day on the river. Morning guided hikes within the wilderness river corridor increase participant’s endurance and cardiovascular fitness while finding ancient petroglyphs along the way. Personalized stretch sessions and kinesthetic awareness activities drawn up by Cooper after individual assessments will give each guest a specific individualized program for improved posture and increased flexibility and range of motion. Massage and bodywork sessions in the ambience of the quiet river evenings will loosen joints and lengthen muscles, improving posture and balance.
