Natural Body has the only Platinum LEED Certified Day Spa in the U.S.
And they have Yala too!

Have you ever been to a spa that is certified by Green America, Earth Share, Green Spa Network and U.S. Green Building Council? Not to mention opening the first & only platinum LEED certified day spa in the US, Natural Body is a leader in the green spa and green business communities.

Cici Coffee and Patti Beggs founded Natural Body in 1989, back at a time when hardly anyone had heard of a “day spa”. Nineteen years and twenty-one spas later, their vision of providing natural, nurturing services and products to their clients while helping the environment is stronger than ever.

We are proud to have Yala product in these spas that align with our business practices and lifestyle. As members of the Organic Trade Association, Green America, Green Shipping and being Oeko-Tex certified, Yala product fits perfectly in Natural Body Spas. Plus, our organically grown Bamboo Dreams® fabric is so silky soft, it's the perfect thing to slip into after treating your skin!

Natural Body strives to use sustainable materials at all of their spas, "More than just natural services and some of the most coveted natural products on the market, we utilize recycled products. The newsletter and spa menus are printed on recycled paper with soy ink. Plus, as much as possible, the spas incorporate recycled, post consumer building materials in their construction. Many of the floors are crafted with recycled school bus tires, among other recycled waste."

You will be delighted to find Yala pieces at Natural Body Spas, such as our beautiful new Bamboo Dreams® Piper Dress. Perfect for summer, fall or winter, it is both form-fitting and flattering. Gathering along the side seams caresses your curves in just the right way to accentuate but never exaggerate. Paired with our Bamboo Dreams® Full Length Leggins - it will feel like heaven after a Natural Body treatment!

Until next time,

Team Yala

Yala Giving Back - to Science!

Yala® loves giving back! We are so grateful to be based out of such a cultured and vibrant community as Ashland, Oregon where we support Ashland’s very own Science Museum, ScienceWorks. With nearly 100 interactive exhibits, ScienceWorks encourages children and adults to learn about various scientific principles.

The museum was recently nominated for the Distinguished Service Award presented by the Confederation of Oregon School Administrators for "individual or organizations outside the field of education that make significant contributions to the education of young people in Oregon."While we are lucky to have the museum in our backyard, over 86% of their visitors come from outside of Ashland."

ScienceWorks biggest fundraiser of the year is a very popular and well attended event, called The Science of Wine Gala. From 6-10pm guests dress up to sip, sample and mingle with 14 different local wineries paired with delectable food from 14 local restaurants. Four hours may seem like plenty of time, but with a raffle, science demonstrations and good company the time flies!
