Athleisure List - NYC, Breathe Easy Spa

When it comes to doing right by our bodies, we think about eating right, staying hydrated, working out and so much more. But Athleisurists are aware that we are always looking for the best way to enjoy and optimize our lives. In the midst of all the activities that we do daily from work time to leisure, do you know how many breaths we take? On inhale a staggering 25,000 times a day! In a span of a year, that’s nine million breaths!!!

When was the last time that you did something that allowed your respiratory system to get a break? Our lungs are put through the paces of floating bacteria, gases, viruses and a number of other elements that are within our day to day interaction.

Enter Breathe Easy Spa’s three treatments which include their salt room, salt chamber and salty yoga located within Oasis Day Spa. They provide options for a total revival treatment with your lungs in mind. Time spent here allows your lungs to get the TLC it needs to keep you at your best.

The lungs are an interesting organ as it is made up of delicate tissue; however, they are in constant contact with an environment of toxic fumes which can lead to lung cancer which affects both men and women globally.

The Salt Room is optimal for lung and skin clearing benefits. Within this space are six recliners where guests can relax for 45 minutes. Throughout the treatment, halogenators pump microparticles of salt air. This is believed to assist with positive benefits such as improving the breath, stress
and sleeping. As this therapy is enjoyed, sock covered feet are placed within pink Himalayan rock salt.

Another treatment you can select, is their salt chamber which is a rising trend. This session takes place in a full body size container and lasts for 20 minutes.

Salty yoga combines the mind, body and breath to truly take in the process. As the guest partakes in the movements, they engage in deep breathing techniques which helps to reduce the energy that this action takes. This ultimately decreases the oxygen demand and strengthens
the diagram. It’s a bit of a respite from having to work so hard.

Athleisure List - Chicago, Studio Three

The allure of boutique studio fitness gyms is primarily because of the focus of various methods within the community that the creators generate. When the privately held group, BlitzLake opened Studio Three in Chicago’s River North Neighborhood, it was the culmination of peeling the layers behind a number of fitness centers across the country to unveil a niche that had yet to be exposed.

In late fall 2015, the first of it’s kind (having these disciplines under one roof), Studio Three has 16,000 square feet featuring Peloton® Indoor Cycling, Interval Training and Yoga on three separate, synergized levels, all under one roof. In addition, the group selected instructors that are leaders in their industry with elite fitness backgrounds to create classes that are complimentary for maximum results across disciplines. By providing the necessary ultimate fitness experience, they also facilitate a sense of community and comfort for its members. The very name denotes the three places that matter – home, work and your third space.
