VUE

Across from the spa are the sauna and therapy rooms, with many features that are unique to SoJo. The saunas include the far-infrared sauna, the red clay sauna, the white clay sauna, the charcoal sauna, and the himalayan salt sauna. Each are heated to exact, high temperatures, and the materials the saunas are created with are used to do everything from treating ailments, curing fatigue, tension and headaches, releasing toxins, and stimulating blood circulation. Some of the saunas are built with Hinoki, a Japanese cypress wood, shipped to the U.S. specifically for SoJo. The treatment rooms include an ice room, releasing pure oxygen to open the pores and revitalize skin cells, a halotherapy or 'salt' room, where aerosolized salt is released for a natural decongestant and cleansing properties that assist with respiratory ailments and boosting the bloodstream, and a ganbanyoku room, or bedrock bath, which is a unique Japanese hot stone therapy experienced by lying down on a heated black mineral slab that emits far-infrared rays and negative ions to speed up the release of toxins from the body through perspiration, as well as many other benefits. SoJo achieves calmness throughout its spaces outside the rooms with its relaxation lounges, quiet environments created for de- stressing and re-energizing in between saunas and treatments with comfortable seating options including bean chairs, floor mats, and massage recliners, and beautiful views of the New York City skyline. On the sixth floor sits both the dining areas and kids spaces, and is the only floor children are allowed on. The family pool is staffed with a lifeguard at all times to make sure children are safe. In the near future, SoJo will also be adding a children's room, filled with toys and books to entertain kids while parents enjoy the rest of what the spa has to offer. Also opening this spring is a water slide, perfect for kids and kids-at-heart alike. The spa's casual dining area offers tables and chairs to fit any size group you attend Sojo with, and offers everything from juices and smoothies to ice cream cones, and has a kids menu, a pizza menu, salads, sandwiches, and both American and Korean dining options. Also coming soon is The Restaurant, a full-capacity, upscale area for groups and parties. The tranquility of the spa carries on with SoJo's outdoor pools and baths. Their infinity pool, also opening this spring, will offer relaxation while overlooking gorgeous panoramic views of the city and Hudson River, and their open-air hydrotherapy pool and hot tubs Patty La cou rte 6 4 8 W y c k o f f A v e , W y c k o f f , N J 0 7 4 8 1 • 2 0 1 - 8 4 8 - 5 6 3 3 • w w w . e u r i c a h o m e . c o m VUE ON LIFESTYLE
