Athleisure Brands Wellness Experts Recommend for Yoga, Meditation, and More
If you’ve ever stepped foot in New York City, you’d know tranquil spaces and relaxing resets are highly sought after. Amid the hustle and bustle, there’s only one place stylish New Yorkers trust to recharge: Sage + Sound, a mecca for clean beauty, wellness, and movement on the Upper East Side.
While most people may have started their wellness and movement practices with the New Year, co-founders Lacey Tisch and Lauren Zucker have been on their journey for years, eventually coming together to found the space focused on “wellness your way” in 2022. This means there’s usually something for everyone on the menu. Meditation classes, sound baths, and mindfulness coaching sessions are all available to take in group settings, while tailored facials, nontoxic manicures, and relaxing massages all indulge the self-care side of the industry that’s been heavily documented on social media platforms. It’s not all face masks and jade rollers, though, Zucker explained.
“Wellness means consciously making your well-being a priority. This means physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally, ” she told Who What Wear. “This can look like many different things depending on who you are and what you need.”
For Zucker and Tisch, it means plenty of simple, life-altering things that they incorporate into their routines, whether it be journaling, taking a workout class, or simply doing their skincare routines using Sage + Sound–curated products from their beauty roster—Biologique Recherche is a favorite for both. To this editor, it’s actually making it to that mind-numbingly early Pilates class without canceling the night before. (Whoops!)
Although demystifying wellness can feel complicated at times, you don’t have to know all of the answers right away, Tisch explained: “[Wellness] doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Give yourself grace. Try new things. Be okay with not liking things. It’s a journey, not a destination.”
