The first master yogis bent themselves like twist-ties around their enemies, smothering them with relaxing vibes. Today's Groupon offers a similar chance to defeat work-related stress: for $49, you get one month of unlimited yoga classes at YogaWorks ($130 value).You’ll be free to stretch yourself into a dozen different flavors of yoga yogurt at nine YogaWorks LA-area locations.

YogaWorks’ classes vary from location to location, but combined, its studios give you your pick of more than 100 sessions a week in an average studio, with some starting as early as 6 a.m. and as late as 7:30 p.m. YogaWorks' impassioned, experienced, and quadruple-jointed instructors remix pliable poses from a variety of styles, with well-known traditions such as Ashtanga and Vinyasa mingling with samples from lesser-known paths to lithe enlightenment such as Iyengar, known in secret circles as the "way of the swift-handed dancing snake." The studio also crafts special classes for kids, seniors, and pre- and post-natal women, and its ultra-flexible mad scientists have concocted hybrid classes such as BarWorks, SculptWorks, and HorseWorks, the first yoga class designed for centaurs.

Different poses unblock dammed channels of energy, and deep breathing suffuses the fatigued spirit with renewed vigor––just like blowing into a Nintendo cartridge—allowing you to finally become flexible enough to eat your food with your feet and touch your earlobes together. Yoga veterans malleable as warm wax and neophytes unable to touch their hands are equally welcome at YogaWorks, so find a class attuned to your skill level and a go-to dance move with today’s Groupon.
