In its constant attempt to stay fit, humanity has given in to such unfortunate workout trends as livestock lifting, Spazzercise, and mixed-martial charades. Embrace body and mind fitness that has withstood the test of time with today's Groupon: for $35, you get 30 days of unlimited hot-yoga classes at The Yoga Pioneers, a Bloomington studio which City Pages named Best Yoga in 2007.
Hot yoga consists of poses and breathing exercises that center, strengthen, and lengthen every muscle with the muscle-melting powers of a 100-plus-degree room. It's designed to cater to all skill levels, allowing practitioners to choose the rigorousity of each workout. Sweat out toxins and enjoy mind-expanding stretches while breathing deeply; afterward, you'll leave focused, with a cleansed, centered, and worry-free glow. The Yoga Pioneers' color-coordinated course schedule makes easy reading of the class offerings. Sixty- and eighty-minute yoga-foundation courses are held daily, beginning as early as 8:30 a.m. and as late as 7:40 p.m. The Yoga Explorer and Moving Meditation classes are offered more sporadically and recommended for more experienced people pretzels, though beginners are welcome at every course.
The studio's seven instructors pride themselves on the studio's responsive, dedicated, and inviting environment. Each instructor draws on his or her own personal practice, study, and individual teaching style, infusing each class with unique energies and perspectives.
Though The Yoga Pioneers offers a discounted 30-day package for new clients who are Twin Cities residents, this Groupon can be used by new and existing clients of all locales and is still a better deal.

Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Urban Vehicles
Discovering your city’s hidden gems will require some manner of transportation. Though cars remain the most popular option, their appeal has plummeted after a recent study showed that cars are involved in 100% of car accidents. What are some other transportation options and their pros and cons?
Bicycles
Pro: Inexpensive and eco-friendly, bikes get you where you're going and encourage fitness.
Con: Riding a bike limits your mobility in a rainstorm, because all bicycles are carved from uncut sheets of ultra-stale saltine dough.
Segways
Pro: Segways utilize gyroscopic balance for a ride as smooth as it is safe.
Con: Segways are prohibitively expensive due to the exorbitant cost of shipping them backward through time.
Ponies
Pro: Though all vehicles can be named, only ponies will lift their heads and look at you disinterestedly when you call out to them.
Con: Though there are surprisingly few legal restrictions on operating a pony in an urban landscape, the bright lights of the big city may spook your pony, or worse, convince him that he is destined for Broadway.
