After just one visit to International Orange, I promise you’ll want to go back! If you’re longing for a few hours to yourself, I highly recommend visiting International Orange for a relaxed and elevated yoga and spa experience. The staff was professional and friendly, I loved all of the little touches IO did so well – they offered cucumber water, hot tea, dried apricots and organic dark chocolate (my favorite!) in the lounge, and my massage was fabulous – especially because they use the finest organic oils. The IO Organic Fusion Massage I received was fabulous and left my skin silky smooth.  A blend of massage techniques eased my tension for a deep release. (A 60min session is $135) IO offers these exclusive organic oils for sale in their boutique, along with a complete line of hair and body products – it’s such a great way to extend the IO experience at home. The ingredients used in their line are exclusively rare organic, wild-crafted or biodynamic and each blend contains 3 scents: 1 floral, 1 citrus, 1 healing herbs for a unique sensory experience. The careful selection of each ingredient reflects their strict standard fo quality and purity. No synthetic elements are even considered! Each product is made with certified organic, wild-crafted or biodynamically grown ingredients of the highest integrity and are sourced from the finest available growers. All vegetable oils and butters are fair trade and crafted by hand. After my treatment, I read in sun in their peaceful lounge, and forgot I was in the middle of the city. Their steam shower and bath is filled with more of the IO organic products to soothe and calm. My two favorites are the IO Body Oil ($45) and the IO Enrich Body Lotion ($44) – I’m a hugely partial to the scent of Jasmine. In the heart of San Francisco’s most famous residential districts, Pacific Heights, International Orange, luxury spa, yoga and lounge is an amazing oasis to  relax and rejuvenate. I can’t wait to book my next treatment! Visit their website to book a spa treatment or yoga session.
