At Active Life Chiropractic & The Wellness Loft, visitors receive top-notch chiropractic care that not only treats back and neck ailments, but also cultivates general health and well-being without sweeping symptoms underneath a skin carpet. By focusing on removing nervous-system interference, Doctor of Chiropractic Dale Andelkovic can address the physical, biochemical, and emotional distress that affects wellness and ails negative nancies. Trained in the treatment of pregnant mothers, babies, and children, Dr. Andelkovic also performs nervous-system and backbone maintenance on adults with deft dexterity. An initial exam and consultation (a $125 value) thoroughly analyzes each individual’s muscle mold and provides an informative health assessment and treatment plan. X-rays help uncover problematic ailments and trouble spots that can’t be seen by a naked eye, as a naked eye is too busy trying to cover its exposed iris to properly focus. Additionally, a bone-mast-straightening adjustment ensures nerves are unclogged and the body can traverse sidewalk seas unhindered (a $40 value). The 30-minute therapeutic massage capper shapes weathered muscles into a sturdy crowd-surfing hull (a $40 value).

The instructors at Inner Evolution Yoga believe that practicing yoga is a personal journey best undertaken at your own pace. To that end, the studio offers ample classes for practitioners of all skill levels, including a beginners yoga class, a Yin yoga stretching session ideal for newbies and injured students, and challenging hot-yoga classes that take experienced yogis to the next level, where they can claim their well-earned pot of golden chakra coins. Many classes are held before and after working hours to accommodate busy professionals and parents, including a Hot Morning Power class that ends promptly at 6:30 a.m. 

The talented instructors adopt the studio’s philosophy of humility, which pushes them to see the strengths and weaknesses in their yoga practices. This encourages all teachers to constantly learn new skills and different yoga modalities, which they can then share with their students and friendly strangers on the bus.

My Gym Children's Fitness Center, which currently has more than 200 international locations, began more than 20 years ago as a structured place for children to safely play, acquire new skills, and romp off a sugar buzz. All classes are organized according to age level (starting as young as 6 months) and designed to incorporate the latest physiological and psychological research. Tiny Tykes gets babies moving with help from their parents, Mighty Mites teaches toddlers self-reliance and beginning sports skills, and Champions, a class for kids aged 6–9, emphasizes the importance of using teamwork to master more complex sports skills and achieve group goals such as building a human pyramid to reach the cookie jar. My Gym's energetic instructors are experts at using music, dance, and gymnastics to build youngsters' strength and self-esteem while stimulating their giggle-plexes. The noncompetitive environment fosters creativity and hands-on activities boost children's learning retention and fun quotient.

The instructors at The Yoga Room of Redlands take time to build toward peak poses. They begin by modeling basic movements that warm bodies from the inside out. As muscles and connective tissues gain mobility, teachers introduce more-rigorous postures such as chair, which mimics the action of sitting down on Santa's lap. Students build up to the peak pose—a posture that's intensely challenging and rewarding—and then cool down through a sequence of curative, relaxing movements.

Throughout each of the Power Vinyasa–style classes, teachers tend to students as individuals, offering modifications and adjustments to make poses more comfortable. They also add upbeat music to brighten the mood.

The technicians and aestheticians at Rejuvenate Redlands devote themselves to stymying time's negative effects on the face and body with innovative, safe techniques. Wrinkles and sagging skin meet with nonsurgical face-lifts that naturally lift and tighten the skin with gentle heating, and hair restoration services restore thick locks with transplants that eschew scalpels and mammoth fur wigs. Dedicated to finding the right treatment for each client, the team conducts free consultations before every procedure.

Started as a single Newport Beach clinic in 1971, Lindora was the brainchild of Dr. Marshall Stamper, who was motivated by the unfortunate loss of his mother due to weight-related complications. Now, more than 40 years later, Lindora's weight-loss programs continue to bestow humanoids with a plethora of personalized nutrition plans and private one-on-one health consultations. At over 40 Southern California locations, medically trained teams of healthcare professionals guide patients through lab work, health assessments, and exams to discern the most efficient trajectory into better health. Patients receive encouragement to adjust their lifestyle and behavior, and bellies stay buoyed by nutrition support and menu plans that spotlight fresh, balanced meals.

Long-term weight maintenance is the goal of the clinic's medically based programs, which means patients needn't worry about extra pounds boomeranging back into their lives like a persistent pet chinchilla. Check the FAQ page here for more information about Lindora's approach to weight loss.
