Inner peace is like the Sasquatch—many people claim it's real, but most remain skeptical until the moment it seizes them while they're meditating on a mountaintop. Bring the bliss with today's Groupon: for $39, you get one month of unlimited yoga classes at Shanti Yoga in Tsawwassen (up to a $128 value).
The Yoga Alliance certified trainers at Shanti Yoga help both novice and seasoned yogis improve posture, strength, and peace of mind during a variety of classes offered seven days a week. The studio’s schedule lets students try different styles such as Hatha, an alignment-focused practice that can help newer yoga pupils de-stress and gain the flexibility needed to walk their dogs from the couch. In power yoga, instructors teach more advanced body benders high-intensity, Vinyasa-style moves designed to produce a detoxifying sweat. Students can also breath deep during slow-paced yin yoga or take a respite from work during a 75-minute lunchtime flow class. An environmentally friendly studio, Shanti Yoga uses eco-friendly cleaners and the same kind of bamboo floors pandas exercise on in the wild. Additionally, an on-site store outfits yogis with clothing and equipment.
Though Shanti Yoga sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to Everyman’s Classics: Animal Farm
Everyman should enjoy classic literature, which is why the Groupon Guide invented the Everyman's Classics study-guide series. This installment covers:
Animal Farm: Chapter V
Summary: All right, so at this point the animals have been running Animal Farm for a while. This one horse, Mollie, gets treats and pets and ribbons from a neighbour farmer who is a man (not an animal), so she leaves to work on his farm instead of Animal Farm.
Meanwhile, the rest of the hilarious talking animals are arguing about whether they should build a windmill like Snowball the pig says or to not do that like Napoleon the pig says (note: Napoleon is also the name of an important man from France). So they argue and stuff and the animals seem like they want the windmill. But then Napoleon calls in all these dogs he’s been secretly raising and they come in and are big and scary and the animals are scared even though I’m pretty sure a horse could beat a dog in fights. The dogs chase away Snowball and Napoleon is like, “Basically, I’m in charge now and communism is flawed.”
The pigs explain to the animals that it is good that Napoleon is in charge and not bad and also Snowball was a bad pig. The horse named Boxer who always says “I will work harder” also starts saying “Napoleon is always right.” The animals continue to work because that is how they get food and the dogs are scary (even though, seriously, horses are strong [also donkeys can kick pretty hard]).
Analysis: Having recently discovered that there is no symbolism in this book, scholars agree that this chapter is particularly unsymbolic. It is well documented that walking, talking animals fall under Jungian archetypes of “the priceless” and “the adorable.” Scholars also agree that they are more excited for the later chapters when the pigs wear top hats and other human clothes.
Important Quote: “Nine enormous dogs wearing brass-studded collars came bounding into the barn. The animals cowered in fear and did not have an all-out, no-limits brawl with the dogs even though this would have been awesome and worthy of being put on a video website if such a thing ever exists.”
