MedSpas and Yoga Facility Put
The Woodlands Mall at Leading Edge of Trend
Bella Beau MedSpa, Bikram Yoga Studio, Sõna MedSpa bring beauty procedures
 and fitness programs within easy reach of customers

THE WOODLANDS, Texas. January 24, 2007 ~ In the early 1990s, day spas exploded onto the wellness scene. Today, the trend is spreading into the shopping mall with wellness facilities and cosmetic/medical spas popping up next to Anthropologie and Ann Taylor.
The Woodlands Mall, with Bella Beau MedSpa, Bikram Yoga Studio and Sõna MedSpa, is keeping pace, ready to provide every experience a shopper could need.

“The medspa concept is a one-stop beauty spot. Customers fine relaxation with massages plus non-surgical rejuvenations such as laser treatments, hair removal, microdermabrasion and the like,” says Kristi Resendez, marketing manager for The Woodlands Mall. “Of course, the other component of beauty is fitness, and our Bikram Yoga studio is a vigorous program developed to balance and strengthen the body.”

Bikram Yoga Studio
Located on the second floor above Pottery Barn, the Bikram Yoga Studio offers students a health system to enhance personal performance and assist in correcting physical ailments.

The Bikram method of yoga is scientifically designed to encompass endurance, strength and flexibility. Classes are held in a heated room that allows for deeper stretching, facilitates a cardiovascular workout and assists in detoxifying the body through perspiration.
The Bikram Yoga Studio features a spa-like setting with men’s and women’s charging rooms that are equipped with showers, lockers and steam rooms. Additionally, there is a Yoga Boutique with a selection of yoga wear and equipment, and skin-care products.
