Relax and Recharge in Lake Nona
Now, more than ever, we need places where we can tune into our body and mind and let go of the day’s stressors. Lake Nona is a living example of how wellness and mind-body connection can make a neighborhood a better place to live. Here are five uniquely Lake Nona places where you can unwind and ready yourself for true connection with family, friends and the world around us.
The Lake Nona Performance Club is home to the world’s only Chopra Mind-Body Zone and Spa, designed by Lake Nona’s longtime wellbeing ambassador and world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine Dr. Deepak Chopra.

Join yoga and meditation instructor (and Lake Nona resident), Natalia Foote, for a weekly meditation class at Dockside every Wednesday morning from 7 to 8 a.m. Whether you’re an established meditation practitioner or a beginner looking to reap the rewards of meditation, Natalia will guide you through a 10 to 15-minute mind-body connection that will set the tone for your day. This is also a time to connect with your community, as the class begins with a quick meet-and-greet, and then contemplative reading and time for reflection and discussion. Bring a mat or meditation pillow and take lots of deep, restorative breaths.

Get swept away with a massage at the Hand & Stone in Lake Nona’s Vickrey Place. Book a massage or facial and forget you’re not on vacation for an hour or so. The licensed massage therapists and aestheticians will have you coming back for treatments regularly after you experience the kind of care and passion they practice. Book a couples massage or bring your BFF for some time together while you relax and enjoy each other’s company in a serene environment.

Laureate Park residents can head to this resort-style aquatic wonderland, where kids and adults can both take time to relax and have fun. The newly renovated and expanded space features a 6,500-square-foot pavilion for picnicking, a five-lane lap pool, a half-court for basketball and a beach volleyball court to build camaraderie with neighborhood pick-up games. For little ones, the splash pool offers water cannons and a 25-foot-tall dumping bucket that kids can’t get enough of. Plenty of nearby loungers allow parents to keep close watch on their giggling littles while catching up on their latest reads.
