New Year, New You!
Top Spas, Massage and Yoga Studios in Truckee-Tahoe
Ahhh, it’s a new year that awaits a new you to do what is best for your mind and soul. Thankfully, the Truckee-Tahoe region has more spas, yoga and massage facilities than most to get your body balanced and ready to begin a new year ahead.
No matter where one lives throughout the region, we have the luxury of being surrounded by the most scenic, strenuous trails and slopes to push our bodies to their limits. The best part is the end result – slipping into a local spa as our greatest reward. Below you will find our favorite places to pamper our bodies, and a place for your pups, too, after a delightful day in the great outdoors. Another bonus are our resort communities like Northstar’s Ritz Carlton, Palisades Tahoe at The Resort offering spas and fitness facilities right on site. Be sure to make reservations!
If a home on the slopes is of interest to you, contact Alison at Elder Group Tahoe Real Estate. Happy New Year to you and your family!

This slope-side retreat is one of our favorite treats for our body and soul. Wrapped with sights of the snow-flocked forest, the Highlands Spa Lake Tahoe offers a place for peace and pampering within its classic mountain design and surroundings. One of their signature experiences was created for those just off the slopes; it’s a foot ritual offering a decompressing foot massage using stones from Lake Tahoe.

Awakening Massage

This center is well-respected for its pioneering Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy (AOBT). It is ideal for those with back pain, athletes, larger people and those who seek something new and different within the world of massage therapy. AOBT is an ancient Asian form of massage where the masseuse holds on to two overhead parallel bars then uses their feet (instead of their hands) to massage their patient’s muscles. AOBT is also beneficial for tight or painful hamstrings, calf muscles, quadriceps, tight IT-bands, sciatica (not the acute stage) and tight forearms.
