In Short
Brick walls, exposed wooden beams overhead and the warm glow of hardwood floors give this refurbished downtown space an open yet comfortable vibe. While eggplant and olive drapes help partition the main room when yoga and Pilates classes are in session, two candle-lit massage rooms in the back of the space also offer privacy. At this feng-shui retreat, the therapists keep the focus on the healing arts with classes and treatments that nurture from within.
