Now that the weather is turning colder, why not head to a sun-splashed paradise such as Aruba, where the entire island offers a wealth of dazzling ways to do your Downward Dog — and everything else. There’s still time in September — and afterwards — to make a fast break and get away for a last-minute love affair with all-things-wellness. Several resorts are offering distinctive yoga programs.

For example, Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort offers rejuvenating yoga activities Mondays through Saturdays at 7:30 AM under the Big Palapa on beautiful Palm Beach. Taught by the island’s premier instructors, Hyatt’s classes range from energy healing on Tuesdays to Aerial Yoga on Saturdays. The luxurious Ritz-Carlton Aruba offers guided yoga classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, inviting guests to enjoy an energy-infusing tranquility on their lawn, just steps from Palm beach and the famed eternity bridge.

But for a crème de la crème experience — and for something completely different — you just may want to visit Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort – a Four-Diamond award-winner, and an adults-only posh property that usually has a 97% occupancy, it is so popular. It offers an all -encompassing wellness program and is led by certified wellness specialists. A key differentiator for Bucuti & Tara's approach is that it connects guests with only the very best wellness professionals in each specialty that is available in Aruba.

Guests can do as little or as much as they wish .
