Activities
From yoga and painting to playing bocce on the lawn, there are a variety of group activities offered at Cavallo Point’s Healing Arts Center & Spa.
Yoga
Yoga is a physical and mental discipline that helps achieve balance by connecting the body, breath and mind. A typical yoga routine combines physical postures, called asanas, with breathing techniques and meditative practices. Goals often include stress reduction and physical fitness. Classes are led by experienced and accredited yoga instructors. Each class is one hour long; mats and props (as needed) are provided. Classes are suited to all students unless otherwise noted.
*Subject to rental and labor fees, based on location and group size
Play
Adults are grown-up kids, so recess is essential. Cavallo Point, the ideal playground for groups, offers acres of open space for lawn bowling (bocce ball), cornhole, croquet and more.

No prior experience is necessary and there is no fuss. It’s as easy as showing up, taking the class, and taking home a painting. So much fun!
