Mission
Transforming the landscape of body, mind, and soul-centered wellness, starting in the Twin Cities.
Vision
We bring time-tested methods of relaxation to an ever increasing metropolitan population, creating an atmosphere of tranquility to neutralize chronic stress and all the conditions that contribute to the declining health of our society.
Domino Effect
We are driven to make the world more hospitable for doing good. Our members contribute more to the places, people, and causes they care about most when they are able to reset, recenter, and recharge at SoKo.
Why SoKo is Perfect for Minnesota
Our clothing-provided policy means you can enjoy the wet areas with full gender inclusivity. Bring the whole family, your whole friend group, or your [entire board and staff] to relax and find your best selves.
Our solarium & conservatory environment sets us a world apart from other Korean Spas in both the U.S. and South Korea – when Minnesota winters hit, being able to soak in sunshine elevates emotions and helps eliminate SAD.
Our Massage Tool & Wellness Library functions as a place for deep contemplation where targeted relaxation techniques are available on your own time.
Our Dream Includes
A 100% plant based menu of traditional Korean grandma's cooking decreases our environmental impact while increasing the healing power of the SoKo Spa & Wellness experience.
