ROAMING ROCKFORD: This week, we would like to present some places that will provide you with a calming, chill experience.
Sattva Yoga Spa is more than just a spa – it is a wellness escape that is dedicated to rejuvenating ancient traditions while in the midst of bustling modern life. Those who attend classes here all have the same thing to say: it is truly a calming and supportive and relaxing atmosphere. They offer yoga classes, hot & cold spa treatments, a silent meditation room, reiki & massage, and a community lounge. The staff and instructors are friendly and helpful, with the ability to break down poses for beginners to those who are more advanced. No need to bring anything except a water bottle! For 815 day this Saturday, they are hosting a fun, beginner-friendly 45-minute outdoor yoga class on the courtyard at Edgebrook at 4 p.m. for just $8.15 – all you need is water and your own yoga mat!
Rock Valley Garden Center is home to one of Illinois’ finest selections of specialty annuals, perennials, shrubs, and more. They have several different departments within the store, including aquatics, bonsai, hydroponics, and statuary. On 815 day (and going until August 21) they are having a 50% off sale on succulents, perennials, shrubs, and berry bushes!
At BD4: A Burger Joint, you will be invited in to a modern, welcoming space with a calming atmosphere. They serve elevated burgers, grilled cheese, mac & cheese, salads, and tater tots, with a full bar serving craft cocktails, craft b**r, and an extensive wh***ey selection. This is located just steps from Sattva Yoga Spa, meaning after your afternoon yoga class you can walk over an enjoy some great food!
