For centuries mankind has envied pizza dough and wondered how we too could be kneaded to relaxed, savoury states without paying for the luxury of being escorted via wooden paddle to a Sicilian brick oven. Learn the tasty tips of the trade with today's Groupon: for $42, you get a two-hour couples' massage class (an $84.74 value, including HST) at Midhurst Natural Health Clinic on Russell Road.

One part naturopathic medical practice and one part massage studio, Midhurst Natural Health Clinic promotes holistic healing from its multifaceted facility. On certain Saturday afternoons through April, registered massage therapist Amy Frost demonstrates muscle-melting Swedish massage moves for three couples, who then repair to separate rooms to knead each other’s knotted necks and backs into oil-slicked flesh puddles with their newly learned tension-draining techniques. They’ll also receive instruction in basic anatomy and how to increase sensitivity with the application of heat and cold to the skin. Sheets and pillows are provided, and every couple takes home a written set of instructions and a small bottle of oil for at-home spine-straightenings. Classes start at 3 p.m. and students must register as a pair.
