Sun and Moon Yoga's eco-friendly bamboo floors and warm-colored walls create a relaxification haven for body benders and skeleton stretchers, featuring a packed schedule of classes seven days a week. Mind-and-body-unifying courses are available for all skill levels, from practiced yogis to those who think Mel Gibson created the warrior pose for Braveheart.

Savvy stretchers can also borrow organic mats, blocks, and straps for zero dollars.
