Vacations are great, but sometimes from all of the go, go, go, you need a staycation after the vacation. You can easily wear yourself out while you are touring around the city, so making sure to take a few minutes to relax can be key in making sure you don’t burn out before the trip is through.
Luckily for us there are plenty of relaxing activities in the city, beaches and parks are spread out all over for picnics and a day of sunbathing, but even that can be a bit stressful (everyone in Los Angeles feels it when they try to snag a parking spot near Venice or in West Hollywood). One way to combat this? Meditation. Don’t know it until you try it.
Den Meditation Los Angeles
Den Meditation has two locations, one near La Brea just minutes from the popular Grove, and another in Studio City. Both studios offer a variety of meditation sessions for anyone. Meditation can seem scary for anyone who is not used to it – but The Den even has classes that are basically like taking a nice, energizing nap (my personal favorite – Nidra Meditation is the name of the class!) Meditation classes are available for those in all levels or “readiness.” To see a list of their classes and schedule visit the Den Meditation Los Angeles site.
The studio also has options for kids and periodically has great workshops. The next upcoming workshop is a retreat up in Ojai. Relaxation and beautiful views – a perfect getaway! To see exact dates and times check out the offsite retreat listings.

Ojai Valley Inn
If still in Ojai after your meditation retreat, you can’t beat The Ojai Valley Inn. Talk about letting it all go! It’s a favorite of many of us here at Glitterati Private Tours of Beverly Hills. It’s an amazing property, surrounded by green fairways, oak trees, and the inn has their award-winning on site spa.
