Outside of Ayala Vertis North, these accessible wellness spots in the city let you breathe in and breathe out. 

What does self-care mean to you? For many, pampering comes to mind, giving time for physical relaxation and self-indulgent cosmetic upgrades that make one look and feel their best. For some, it’s wellness: discovering passions that drive health, fitness and peace of mind; furthermore, self-care can also manifest through convenience—having necessities be accessible to where you live, not being burdened to rush, and being able to balance the needs of work, play and rest.

Orean Place, Building Facade, Artist’s Perspective

The Vertis North area in Quezon City is a unique locale where all pillars of self-care seem to converge in a seamless way, especially for individuals considering to reside in Orean Place, a residential development built within this fully-integrated business and lifestyle district. Said to espouse “laid-back, city living,” Orean Place has self-care spots within walking distance through Vertis North’s key commercial hotspots. Its central location makes the mega city’s self-care gems within arms’ reach, even those that are located outside the Vertis North area. Here are some of them:

Cedar Wellness Spa

This Japanese-inspired spa soothes the soul the way that travel does—even before you choose your treatment. Intentional in its traditional Japanese-inspired design, the spa makes your experience otherworldly, allowing you to fully forget about the outside and focus on how you feel from within. Cedar’s slew of treatments define the self-care experience—combining Eastern and Western techniques, acupressure, signature strokes and targeted pressure points that prepare you to rejoin the outside world with the rejuvenation you so needed.

Everyday Pilates

Pilates as a practice has started to become more accessible through price and location, and it’s a welcome workout variation for those looking for a low-impact, less stressful way to stay healthy. Everyday Pilates in Diliman states that in their studio, “practice starts here,” offering classes that are friendly to both beginners and seasoned folk. If you’ve ever been lost or overwhelmed about kicking off your fitness journey, Everyday seems like a good place to begin—you can even grab a matcha on your way out.

The Yoga Shala

An ancient technique is today’s modern wellness class: Sikatuna Village’s The Yoga Shala holds Sound Healing classes that are said to reduce stress, tension, and anxiety. Often coupled with yoga practices such as sun salutations or meditation, sound healing sessions produce brainwave states that normally occur when one is in deep sleep or a relaxed state. This also allows the body to physically heal by relieving muscle tension, improving sleep quality and even soothing chronic pain.

In a fast-paced world, practicing self-care isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential. Whether it’s finding balance through yoga, building strength with Pilates, or unwinding in a serene spa, these rituals help us reconnect with ourselves. At Orean Place, self-care isn’t something you have to carve out time for; it’s simply part of your everyday, embodying the very essence of laid-back city living.
