Yoga awakens the body and spirit, allowing yogis to forecast oncoming weather, traffic patterns, and unwinning lottery numbers, such as "four" and "peanut." Tune and tone your body with today's Groupon: for $15, you get one month of unlimited yoga classes at Barefoot Works Yoga in Shelton Place (a $30 value).

The certified staff of body twisters at Barefoot Works guides novices toward nirvana in a comfortable, open studio with a vaulted, wooden ceiling. Whether you want to stand taller, bend over backwards, or open a pickle jar taped to your back, Barefoot Works offers a variety of classes, many based in the Vinyasa-style of yoga, which works to link poses together with breathing patterns. Newcomers should arrive 15 minutes early to complete a registration form; though mats are available in-studio, yogis are requested to bring their own.
