September is Self-Care Awareness Month and San Diego’s lovely seaside neighborhood of La Jolla has everything you need to celebrate all things wellness and what makes you feel good. From restoring mind-body balance with a yoga class, plant-based meal plans and spa treatments, to shopping fall wardrobe staples—because retail therapy counts, too—get your Self-Care September on track at these seven spots.
