Where to Get Your Wellness Fix in San Francisco
Written by: Sara Bliss
When a city has a yoga room in their airport you can expect a devotion to healthy living all around. While there is an abundance of green juice, gluten-free menus, and studios to hold your Warrior III pose, a few stand out from the rest. Here’s where to find the absolute best wellness destinations next time you touch down in San Francisco.
Juice Shop
One of the co-founders of this family business experienced complete healing from a rare liver disorder through a raw diet, so this San Francisco-based juice emporium was founded on the fact that healthy eating can radically transform health. All juices are from local organic farms and a use a method designed to maximize nutrients. The four SF locations offer four elixirs and 16 types of juice with the option to do a pre-designed juice cleanse.
As Quoted
Built around the foundation of seasonal, local, organic, and wholesome, As Quoted is a healthy mecca for breakfast and lunch. The menu features staples for conscious eaters like pasture raised meat and eggs, all veggie smoothies and bone broth. You will also find healthy versions of classic favorites like a zucchini take on pappardelle and a divine almond butter, honey, and banana sandwich that even Elvis would love.
Lux SF
When you look into the health hazards to phthalates, toxins found in most nail polishes, it is so stressful it takes the joy out of a manicure. This SF-based nail boutique brings the fun back thanks to toxin-free hues, plus salt scrubs and milk baths to pamper hands and feet.
Blue Barn
The motto of this fast casual lunch spot with four SF locations is Be Green Eat Salad and we can’t get enough of their 10 staple salads. Our favorite? Hard to choose, but it just might be the Detox Salad that features two types of kale, rainbow quinoa, cucumber, celery, and apple plus a super seed blend and an acai-lemon “master cleanse” vinaigrette. Who knew detoxing could be this delicious?
Yoga Flow
This family-run Yoga studio with two locations in the city has built up a cult-following addicted to their hot Vinyasa flow classes. Pairing mindfulness and connection with a strengthening workout, this yoga studio manages to stand out in an epicenter of the practice.
International Orange
This holistic day spa is a gorgeous, light-filled oasis in the city. The sun deck with white-cushioned loungers is reason alone to visit. This is the spot to indulge in organic facials, acupuncture, Thai massage or shop their impressive selection of natural beauty products.
