Aside from climbing out of rattlesnake-infested quicksand or posing for rattlesnake-infested watercolor portraits, few activities combine the focus and clarity experience in meditative training. Snake your way through mind-body trainings with today’s Groupon, which gets you an eight-hour meditation workshop or a seven-week session of 90-minute meditation classes at Nirvana Body and Soul. Redeem today's Groupon for one of the following workshops or sessions:

• One-Day Meditation Workshop Wednesday, Novemer 10, 2010, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday January 8, 2011, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, February 16, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday March 5, 2011 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 30th 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

• Seven Week Session Saturdays beginning November 20, 2010, 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. (will work around holidays) Saturdays beginning January 22, 2011, 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Fridays beginning February 25, 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Both the workshop and the seven-week session teach seven different meditation techniques—centering, detached gazing, reflective, chakra healing, creative visualization, mantra and contemplative meditation—all of which are designed to promote overall wellness. Meditation has been known to improve mental and physical health as well as providing an overall boost in performance at work, at upcoming track meets, or at any location that's riddled with stressors or unbent spoons.
