The Studio 303 SPAs<\/strong> – Once a month, our studio becomes a coworking space. With tables set up around the studio, participants are invited to work on their own things in their own time. <\/span>
<\/span>Each SPA centers around a specific topic, with relevant mentors present to answer questions and share their expertise. <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>The schedule and set up is designed to recreate a day at the spa: a quiet space with foot baths and massage devices, yoga mats and cushions for stretching and rest, a community lunch midday (gluten free & vegan) and free 10 minute professional chair massage appointments throughout!<\/span><\/p>\n
