Pause Woodland Hills plans October 2026 opening on Ventura Boulevard

Pause Studio plans to open a recovery and wellness location in Woodland Hills in October 2026, adding float therapy, cryotherapy, infrared sauna and other self-care services near the growing Warner Center area. The studio is positioning the opening around broader development in the West Valley, including the planned Rams Village project.

Why it matters: - Pause Woodland Hills is entering one of Los Angeles’ fastest-growing areas with a studio focused on recovery, wellness and self-care. - The opening adds another destination for residents, athletes and commuters in Woodland Hills and the wider West San Fernando Valley. - The location opens as Warner Center and surrounding neighborhoods see new housing, retail, hospitality and entertainment development.

What happened: - Pause Woodland Hills announced plans to open at 21526 Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills, California, in October 2026. - The studio will offer float therapy, LED light bed therapy, whole-body cryotherapy, compression therapy, infrared sauna, contrast therapy and a hydration lounge. - Services will be available à la carte, in multi-session packages or through monthly memberships. - Each service will be offered in a private suite.

The details: - Float therapy uses a tank of body-temperature water with 1,200 pounds of Epsom salt. - The company says float therapy is intended to shift the nervous system into a deeply restorative state by removing light, sound and gravity. - The full-body LED light bed uses red, green and blue wavelengths. - The LED treatment is intended to support skin health, reduce inflammation and boost cellular energy. - Cryotherapy is a three-minute full-body cold treatment intended to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. - Compression therapy uses controlled pressure intended to improve circulation and reduce fluid buildup in the legs and hips. - Infrared saunas heat the body directly rather than the surrounding air. - Contrast therapy alternates sauna use with a cold plunge. - The Hydration Lounge will offer restorative nutrient infusion services with customizable formulations administered by licensed staff.

Between the lines: - The opening is timed to benefit from the momentum around Woodland Hills and Warner Center, where multiple development categories are advancing at once. - The proposed 52-acre Rams Village at Warner Center is expected to be a major driver of that growth. - Plans for Rams Village include more than 3,000 residential units, nearly 2 million square feet of retail, office, hospitality and entertainment space, and about 10 acres of public parks and gathering areas. - Pause Woodland Hills is framing recovery services as part of the daily routine for a broader local audience, not only dedicated wellness customers.

What's next: - Pause Woodland Hills said the grand opening date will be announced in September. - The studio will serve local residents and visitors from Calabasas, West Hills, Tarzana, Encino, Reseda, Winnetka, Canoga Park, Hidden Hills, Agoura Hills and nearby communities. - Pause Studio, founded in 2014, opened its first location in Venice in 2016. - The brand now offers infrared sauna, cold plunge, contrast therapy, nutrient hydration and LED light therapy, and has awarded more than 100 franchise territories nationwide. - More information is available on the studio’s Instagram page and Facebook page.
