View from the yoga pavilion. The Farm offers at least three yoga classes a day, including the option for private sessions.
Snowboarding, an organized run and surfing used to be the only items I would volunteer to get up early for. Thanks to The Farm at San Benito, I can now add yoga to the list, especially if it involves a cool breeze and a view of mountains, palm trees and a pond with a meditation hut.
I felt noticeably more healthy after only three nights on a recent girlfriends' getaway. I didn't do one of the multi-day wellness retreats that serve as the resort's flagship programs. I did, however, do the thrice daily yoga classes and some of the classic work out classes offered at the "Jungle Gym," the workout facility. And stuffed my face--as much as I can as the portions, while filling, are not of the American super-size variety--with the Farm's 100% organic, homegrown and mostly raw cuisine. That being said, go for a double portion of the pesto, which ranks in the "best ever" category. The chef has perfectly melded the freshness of sweet basil with asparagus, snow peas, and bulghur wheat clusters. The freshness of the ingredients had me thinking that the mint on top of my morning yogurt could be classified as a vegetable instead of a herb.

The Farm veteran health and wellness team believes that the "new luxury" is fresh seasonal produce direct from an organic garden, picked and served hours later in a dish that is "for the gods."
