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 $40, you get 10 yoga, barre, and Pilates classes at Exhale Studios in Richmond (an $80 value).

Exhale Studios unveils the techniques of Pilates and yoga to aspiring and experienced stretchers. In the confines of the studio’s carpeted floors and bright yellow walls, knowledgeable stretching instructors lead students through the simple movements and breathing exercises of the gentle yoga class. During Mat Pilates sessions, students of all experience levels perform exercises that build strength and develop the body’s core while also concentrating on their breathing patterns in case their lungs are sending Morse code requests for vapo-rub. Barre classes challenge exercisers to hustle and twirl along to an energy-expending combination of Pilates, yoga, and ballet, while T'ai Chi Chih courses follow the 19 stand-alone movements in order to improve the body's intrinsic energy and ability to charge car batteries.
