These 9 new wellness centers will help you invigorate your wellness routine.

2. Flower Child

Restaurant, American

What could be more perfect for the Los Angeles wellness market than a restaurant monikered Flower Child charged with the mission to provide ‘healthy food for a happy world’? Part of a flourishing chain, Flower Child’s Santa Monica location offers delectable fare that is locally sourced and always cooked fresh. All proteins in dishes like the Late Riser bowl and the The Rebel wrap are raised naturally and without additives. Best of all, Flower Child is vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free friendly!

The Class

Taryn Toomey’s The Class has been lauded as one of New York’s hottest fitness crazes. Thankfully, Los Angeles recently welcomed Toomey’s pumping, spirit-cleansing classes to its must-do list as well. A 75 minute ‘cathartic mind body experience’, The Class strives to break down ‘sludge’, or layers in the body where stress and emotional damage are held. Through fluid movement, The Class helps to lay the foundation for a lean body, clear mind, and vibrant soul. With the tagline ‘peace through strength’, visitors to The Class claim to make emotional, physical, and spiritual breakthroughs. Keep an eye on the The Class calendar as this powerful experience moves around throughout the week.

Conscious Family Dinner

Though this wellness celebration may not have a specific location, the buzz around LA’s Conscious Family Dinner is on the rise. An evening free of alcohol and filled to the brim with self-improvement, Conscious Family Dinner brings together some of Los Angeles’ most phenomenal healers, massage therapists, and teachers for an evening of betterment. Modeled as a mini-festival, each gathering welcomes about 200 people interested in things like laughter therapy, vegan fare, and self-healing. Organizer Benjamin Rolnik says Conscious Family Dinner works to ‘create a magical environment for guests to feel welcome, safe, and empowered‘.
