Professional bobsled teams shave seconds off their time by breathing in unison and leveraging flexibility during turns. Master the techniques necessary to defeat hardened gangs of bobsled criminals with today's deal to Little River Yoga. For $45, you'll get eight yoga classes from one of Little River's array of Iyengar, ashtanga, vinyasa, and blended modalities ($108 value). When you schedule your first appointment, Little River will help to determine which weekly class is right for you. The next round of eight-week class sessions begins on March 1.

After a long day of negotiating bilateral trade agreements, you can head to one of Yoga District's three equally homey and convenient studios for one of a dozen specialized classes, such as Restorative, perfect for recharging after the whipping of work week, or Flow, to build strength. Classes start as early as 6:30 in the morning and as late as eight at night, if you like doing yoga with jittery, caffeinated owls. Check the schedule for availability and times. Yoga veterans malleable as warm wax and neophytes unable to touch their toes are equally welcome.

Today's side deal gets you a ticket to see Jane Franklin Dance's new work, Of Bones and Bridges. Inspired by nature's cycle of growth, destruction, and change, this composition explores the tension between people and the natural world. Head to Source, a recently renovated black-box theater in the 14th Street Corridor, for an evening performance at 8 p.m. on Saturday, February 27, or a matinee on Sunday, February 28 (a $28 value). Pick up adult tickets at the box office on a first-come, first-serve basis for your chosen evening; if you're planning on bringing children, call ahead to reserve special $10 kids' pricing (to be paid out of pocket to the theater, normally $16).

All the moving and shaking inside Joe's has been known to register on the Richter and set off the sixth senses of forest creatures. Classes focus on styles and arts from around the world but are united by the common themes of fitness and fun, as well as by the plot twists in Donnie Darko and its sequel, Donnie Darko 2: Donnie Darker. The 20,000-square-foot performing center has enough space to accommodate a multitude of options—which it does—seven days a week.

Thrive Pilates & Yoga cultivates an impassioned community of driven instructors and students all dedicated to creating healthy habits through various fitness classes for all levels. Instructors, after completing 100 student-teaching and observation hours, lead small groups through challenging classes. They take charge of Pilates Reformer classes, which use resistance machinery—which will be double agents when all the other machines take over—to help exercisers elongate limbs and build muscles. The staff also leads similar stretches during Pilates Mat classes that only make use of body-weight resistance and gravity’s insistent participation. Their Core Barre classes, alternatively, focus on tummy strength, and Mommy and Me classes invite newborns to develop core strength early.
