As a courtesy to all guests, we request that you be mindful of where you use your cell phone throughout your stay and that noise level be kept to a minimum. Please keep all mobile devices on “silent” throughout your stay and please refrain from talking on speaker phone; texting is preferred when possible.
Wellness Programs & Classes - Choose from 100+ fitness, personal growth, and spiritual classes each week based on availability. View our weekly class schedule online to help plan your activities. We encourage you to create your itinerary as early as possible to secure your desired classes. Please note that our classes vary with each season and the schedule is subject to change. Guests can book and manage classes through our Wellness Journey Platform with designated reservation number. If you are looking for a more intimate wellness experience, our Guest Experience team can assist with booking private sessions as well. If you need assistance or have additional questions, please call 480.653.9000.
Program Policy: Each guest can reserve up to 2 classes per day, prior to their arrival. Once on property, guests can add classes as availability allows. Classes fill up quickly and last-minute availability cannot be guaranteed. For your safety and as a courtesy to others, please arrive 5 minutes prior to your scheduled classes, as late arrivals are not permitted. Due to high demand and limited class space, it is important that you attend the classes you sign-up for. You must cancel by 5pm the day prior to your class to avoid being charged in full for paid classes or a $15 no-show fee for each complimentary class. The minimum age for program guests is 14 years old.

Guests who require service animals must inform a CIVANA team member that they are bringing a service animal prior to arrival.
*Under the ADA, a service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person’s disability. Guests may be asked what work or tasks the animal has been trained to perform. Emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals are not considered service animals under the ADA.
