If winter in Austin feels like the right moment to reset, you’re not alone—and [Miraval Austin](https://www.miravalresorts.com/austin) has quietly become the place where locals and travelers alike are heading to do exactly that. Their seasonal “New Year, Renew You” programming, running through February and March 2026, is the resort’s most dynamic slate of real‑time workshops, rituals, and immersive wellness experiences. This is not a general spa overview or a look-ahead preview. This is what’s happening **right now**, and why these offerings matter.

<Tip> Winter is when Miraval Austin leans hardest into guided programming—locals often treat January and February as the “insider season” before spring visitors arrive. </Tip>
What makes this winter different is the debut of **Deeper Journeys: Align From Within**, a three‑day immersion led by nationally recognized yoga specialist **Leah Cullis Arvelo**. The series is built around movement, meditation, and somatic awareness—more than seven hours of programming designed to help participants clear mental clutter and rebuild intention from the inside out. You can preview the full itinerary and dates on Miraval’s [Deeper Journeys and winter experiences](https://www.miravalresorts.com/austin/experiences) hub. Tuition is $900 per person, separate from overnight packages, and includes exclusive workshops not open to general resort guests.
<Note> That $900 Deeper Journeys tuition is in addition to your room rate—helpful to factor in when comparing Miraval’s winter offerings to other “all‑inclusive” retreats. </Note>
Every stay during the seasonal programming includes all meals (with unlimited selections and non‑alcoholic beverages), gratuity‑free service, nightly resort credits that can be used for spa or private sessions, and complimentary shuttle transfers from Austin–Bergstrom International Airport. These inclusions align with the resort’s [all‑inclusive stay model](https://www.miravalresorts.com/austin/stay-with-us), which bundles wellness activities, mindfulness classes, and access to the Life in Balance Spa into a single experience. It’s one of the few times of year when the resort shifts into a fully guided mode, offering daily lectures, mindfulness classes, creative sessions, and winter‑specific experiences like vision‑mapping workshops and restorative yoga that sit within Miraval’s broader [Journeys with Intention programming](https://www.miravalresorts.com/austin/experiences).
Insider Intelligence: - <Tip>The winter calendar fills earliest for workshops with Cullis Arvelo—book those before confirming travel dates, and use Miraval’s [Know Before You Go](https://www.miravalresorts.com/austin/stay-with-us/know-before-you-go) guide to understand how early to reserve high‑demand classes.</Tip> - The Hill Country setting is at its quietest in January and February; sunrise meditation by the lake is the most underrated experience on property, especially when you factor in the protected landscape around the [Balcones Canyonlands Preserve](https://www.miravalresorts.com/austin/about). - For guests familiar with Miraval’s fall New Moon or summer solstice offerings, this programming is more introspective and less ceremonial, aligning with the resort’s [mindfulness‑first philosophy](https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/texas/miraval-austin-resort-and-spa/ausob) rather than big seasonal celebrations. - <Note>Use nightly resort credits strategically by reserving body‑mind integrations or equine sessions, which often sell out by mid‑morning and are highlighted among Miraval’s signature [equine and integrative wellness offerings](https://www.miravalresorts.com/austin/about).</Note>
<Warning> High‑demand body‑mind integrations and equine sessions can be waitlisted by mid‑morning—reserve as soon as your booking window opens if they’re a priority. </Warning>
<Pros> All‑inclusive meals and non‑alcoholic beverages, Nightly resort credits for spa and private sessions, Deeper Journeys immersion with Leah Cullis Arvelo, Quiet Hill Country setting by Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, Complimentary airport shuttle from AUS </Pros> <Cons> Premium price point including separate $900 immersion tuition, Popular workshops and equine sessions sell out quickly, Winter programming is more introspective than celebratory, Less ideal if you prefer unstructured or nightlife‑heavy trips </Cons> <Verdict rating={4}> A standout choice for a structured winter reset—especially if you want an all‑inclusive, mindfulness‑first retreat with deeper programming than a typical spa weekend. </Verdict>
