The Whole Package

Offering a day pass for unlimited climbing and yoga, couples can turn up the heat on Grotto’s state-of-the-art bouldering walls then unwind and align in one of 11 all-level yoga classes. Following the fun, sweethearts can nourish their bodies with an Evoke Juice from Local Juice Co – a crimson-red elixir made with cold-pressed ingredients like beets, ginger, lemon, jalepeno and cucumber. Complete the day at the neighboring Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and drift into serenity with a choice of 90-minute acupuncture treatment or a relaxing 50-minute massage. On February 14, the studio will host a special Couples Connection Acro Yoga class, focusing on partner work, conscious breathing and connecting of the heart chakras. Day pass valid throughout the month of February.
