Yoga awakens the body and spirit, allowing yogis to forecast oncoming weather, traffic patterns, and unwinning lottery numbers, such as "four" and "peanut." Tune and tone your body with today's Groupon to Lilac Healing Center. Choose between the following options:
• For $39, you get five small-group fitness classes, including yoga, Pilates, and meditation classes (a $90 value).
• For $40, you get a one-hour Swedish massage (an $80 value).
Lilac Healing Center strengthens minds and bodies with a slate of classes that blends stretching, meditation, focused breathing, and motivational booty shaking. Like a many-headed Hydra, each class contains five to eight pupils who meet at a mutually convenient time that they schedule online. Guests seeking a low-impact fitness experience can try beginner yoga, which hones breathing and relaxation techniques, or Pilates, whose core-building exercises may ease back and hip pain caused by too many Rockettes tryouts. Students can also discover their hard-bodied doppelgängers in power yoga, a Vinyasa class that builds endurance and strong muscles.
A relaxing respite from stressful life events, the Swedish massage boosts circulation as it shoos grumpy moods back to the dank cave system they emerged from. Inspired by smooth jazz, this rhythmic style of kneading melts knots from muscles with fluid strokes, light friction, and soprano-sax solos.

The Groupon Guide to: Urban Exploration
Though early explorers effortlessly stumbled upon previously undiscovered flora and fauna, the modern adventurer is left with few discovery opportunities, since most of the world's natural beauty is safely preserved underneath concrete and steel. If you've swallowed the adventure bug, try seeking out these rarely accessed areas:
Abandoned Buildings: Occupant-less, boarded-up buildings can be found on almost any city block, as many companies have moved their offices onto riverboats to avoid the legal obligation of conducting fire drills. Before entering, confirm no workers are still inside by plugging every sink, opening the faucets, and waiting for a towering wave to sweep them away.
Sewer Systems: Dubbed "never-ending, winding coffins" by those who attempted to explore their insides, these dangerous waste superhighways are popular adventure destinations because of their total darkness. Many urban adventurists spend hours without sight to heighten other senses such as smell, touch, and the ability to tolerate suffering.
Parked Cars: Autos are loaded with undiscovered treasures, from still-edible hamburgers buried between seat cushions to still-living exotic birds hiding behind door panels. Though often believed to be a crime, entering a locked vehicle is legal if you've written that particular make and model on your list of dream cars.
