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. Today’s Groupon brings on the bliss: for $30, you get a five-class pass for yoga classes (an $80 value) at Bala Yoga, located in Kirkland. This Groupon is valid for both new and existing customers.

The professional, personable, and pliable instructors populating Bala Yoga sculpt bodies using Baron Baptiste's Vinyasa flow yoga. This intense yoga varietal builds strength and releases tension by linking deep breaths with dynamic, flowing movements to foster a fitness atmosphere that is relaxing and rubberizing for all levels of yogi. Three to six classes take place each day on a flexible schedule, each harnessing the welcoming studio's warm temperatures and positive energy to foster quick extractions of pesky toxins. Expose your muscle hutch and spirit tank to the electrifying fundamentals of Power Vinyasa in the introductory classes and move through the ranks as your corporeal and cranial comfort increases. Or, feel free to mix and match your disciplines, whether you wish to chill out with the relax and renew yoga or forge flexibly into the weekend with the playful Friday-night flow classes.

Regularly practicing yoga can improve your quality of life by increasing muscle tone and flexibility, reducing stress, and stimulating weight loss. Bala Yoga's lovely studio is coated in polished hardwood floors and is illuminated by pleasant hanging lamps, natural sunlight from the windows, and radiant smiles of the friendly teachers. Recruit the guys from your sewing circle or the ladies from your crocodile-wrestling club to join you on your one-month journey across the yogaverse. Feed off the energy of friends to increase stimulation and add another friendly face into a sea of friendly faces.
