LA’s October issue will reveal how California positioned itself as the wellness awareness capital – as early as the 1880s – and how the state’s population flourished around hot springs and ocean breezes. An insider’s guide to spas that infuse indulgence with healthful techniques and dance classes that combine exercise and stress relief with eye-catching moves will be the focus of the publication’s Style List and LA’s signature features and interviews will, as always, highlight Southern California’s most influential people, places and ideas – in print and online.
