Activities that are not scheduled through WIO, but that you may also enjoy are listed below.
Yoga for Women in Ophthalmology The daily activities of an ophthalmologist encourage hunching the shoulders, caving the chest area and potentially straining the neck. The upper body is often taxed and our lower bodies are seldom considered. Join us for a short time to enjoy simple postures and movements that counterbalance our daily motions. Leave with a short, practical yoga practice that anyone can incorporate into their busy life! No registration necessary. Mats available on a first-come, first-served basis. Hula Hoop Dancing Hula Hoop Dancing is a low impact, high energy exercise that combines cardio with the core strengthening of Pilates and the stretching and mediation of Yoga. Hoop Dancing helps you tone your abdominals, arms and legs while you are having fun. Come give it a whirl! Guided Bike Tour of Pinehurst $42 There's no better way to experience the joy of being outdoors in Pinehurst than riding a bicycle around the area. You'll ride through the village, taking in historic homes and buildings along the way. Half-way through your leisurely ride, cool refreshments will await you upon your arrival at the Holly Inn. You'll be refreshed and rejuvenated before heading out on the second half of your relaxing journey. See a few lusciously green holes along famous Pinehurst No. 2 before heading back into the heart of Pinehurst. Once you arrive back at the Carolina Hotel, enjoy Arnold Palmers and Mint Juleps on the front porch, where you can sit back in a rocking chair and get lost in Southern hospitality. Spa Networking ($) Enjoy a relaxing afternoon with colleagues and new friends sipping beverages and partaking in a select menu of the Pinehurst spa services. Registration is required. Payment is dependent on services received. Wind Tunnel Experience $90 Excitement, adrenaline, and adventure are offered in the flight experience of a lifetime. No experience necessary, professional instructors will teach the fundamentals, and provide flight equipment. All you have to do is fly! You will soar on a column of air inside a vertical wind tunnel. Skydivers love freefall because it's the closest possible thing to true human flight. Now everyone can experience the same exhilaration, in a safe environment! Chef Demonstration $35 Pinehurst's talented chefs will entertain and educate you on some of their culinary secrets. You will learn tricks of the trade that you can duplicate at home. Samples of each dish demonstrated will be provided, as well as copies of all recipes.
