If you require some much-needed “me time,” you’re in luck. Between busy summers and preparing to host holiday parties, now’s the perfect time to practice wellness and self-care. Take this as a sign to treat yourself.
Meditative massages
Take a minute (or 60) for yourself with a relaxing deep-tissue massage while visiting Mood House, Sauna House, or Woodhouse Spa, to name a few.
Stretch it out
Yoga is an exercise with proven physical and mental health benefits for any skill level. Whether you’re a self-proclaimed yogi or brand new to the practice, CLT has plenty of studios with yoga classes for all fitness levels.
Take the plunge
Release the stress and tension in your muscles by taking part in a cold plunge or hydrotherapy at Plunge House. Plus, cold plunges may help reduce inflammation.
Try a new hobby
Spark joy this self-care month by finding a new hobby. Our recommendations: Try your hand at axe throwing, gardening, or taking care of indoor plants. (Pro tip: Indoor plants can reduce stress + support sharper focus.)
Feel the fresh air
Fresh air and sunshine can help boost your mood and clear your mind. Put on your favorite playlist and enjoy a stroll at any of Charlotte’s parks.
Hit reset with a salt therapy
Step inside Salt + Souls for a calming dose of halotherapy. The salt rooms are designed to help you breathe easier, relax your muscles, and quiet your mind.
Grab a healthy treat
Good food = good mood. These local vegan + vegetarian restaurants offer nutritious and delicious versions of desserts, comfort foods, and more to leave your body and mind feeling satisfied. Bonus: Feel hydrated and refreshed by replenishing your vitamins at Hydrate Medical.
Plan a self-care staycation
We saved the best for last. Go the extra mile by planning a self-care staycation at a local treehouse, historic loft, or even a luxury shipping container.
