Practicing self love is essential. Now more than ever it’simportant we do just this—take care of body, mind and spirit. While this may bea contemporary concept of sorts, it's actually rooted in the ancient culturesof China and India who prioritized their holistic wellness proactively withvarious systematic daily rituals. Our favorites (outlined below) draw fromthese cultures but with our own modern twist!

Oil Massage

A great way to practice self love is by giving yourself anoil—coconut in the warmer months, sesame in the colder—massage. Enhancescirculation, stimulates the lymphatic system, hydrates the skin, and is justdeeply nourishing.

Movement

Whether it’s yoga, dance, walks, spin, HIIT, running...justget out and move! Exercising releases endorphins that can uplift your mood.Many studies have suggested that daily exercise not only improves overall wellbeing but profoundly reduces the occurrence and/or onset of a handful of commonailments and diseases, most notably cardiovascular (heart) disease.

Tongue Scraping

Use a tongue scraper daily after brushing to remove bacteriaand toxins from the tongue that would otherwise get into our gut! Promotes oraland digestive health—and enhances sense of taste (and you thought tacoscouldn’t get any better).

Meditation

Whether it be mindfulness-based, guided through an app likeHeadspace, in a class, or mantra based, taking a few minutes a day to surrenderinto our deeper sense of being is a must for cultivating presence, awareness,and compassion. (A lot of our guests do this during their 40-minute infraredsauna session).

Oil Swishing

Put 2 tsp of coconut or sesame oil into your mouth firstthing in the morning, swishing it through the mouth for 10-20 minutes forhealthier teeth, gums, and increased gut health and digestion. (Surprisinglygives you a supportive kick of energy too!)
