Adopting exercises from other cultures can help to shake up a workout, which explains the growing popularity of that sport where Scottish guys throw logs. Speak the universal language—sweating—with today's Groupon to Bikram Yoga Greater Portland, redeemable at the Beaverton and Portland studios. Choose between the following options:
- For $20, you get 20 hot yoga classes, valid only for new students (a $200 value).
- For $35, you get one month of unlimited hot yoga classes, valid for new or returning students (a $115 value).
Certified regular and guest instructors at Bikram Yoga Greater Portland's dual studios guide students through Hatha yoga poses and breathing exercises while swaddled in temperatures of 105 degrees and higher. Students flow through up to 26 postures of varying difficulty in one-hour sessions, taking slow breaths through the nose and focusing on stillness so as not to knock over any heat molecules. As students strive and sweat, their exercises may help to facilitate weight loss, lower high blood pressure and stress, and reduce pain from physical injuries. Students should hydrate themselves thoroughly before and after class and arrive in bathing suits or other minimal clothing to aid freedom of movement.
At the Beaverton location, students stretch out within the clean confines of a 4,000-square-foot studio and lounge on the lobby's custom-built benches. The Portland studio's 2,500-square-foot space swaddles participants in a subtle color palette and natural light from large windows. Both locations feature showers for men and women, each stocked with robes to keep post-workout skin from huddling up under the hair upon encountering cooler temps. For class times, check out the online schedules for Beaverton and Portland.

The Groupon Guide to: Employee Benefits
Before starting a new job, make sure your prospective employer offers the following basic benefits:
• Health Insurance: Your medical plan should pay for checkups, hospital visits, and twice-daily atomized vaccine mists administered via your office's sprinkler system.
• 401(k): This is a 401-foot-deep hole where your money is buried so government taxmen can't find it. When you retire, you’re mailed a map to its location.
• Complimentary Cigarette Dish: There should be a bowl of loose cigarettes on the receptionist's desk next to the punch bowl full of Pepsi.
• Solid-Gold Retirement Knife: Should have a pawn value equal to one electric guitar.
• Dignity: Or not.
