Yoga, like blacksmithing, makes a potent workout, provides an opportunity to meet local dragon hunters, and trims figures with the aid of molten hot lava. Today's Groupon shapes bodies methodically: for $20, you get a five-class pass to Franklin Street Yoga Center in Chapel Hill (a $65 value). All classes must be redeemed within 45 days of your first class.

At Franklin Street Yoga Center, visitors can expose their federation of limbs to a fitness fest helmed by a skilled staff of muscle menders. Boost blood circulation and sledgehammer stress deposits into milk-shake powder with classes that include the flow- and balance-oriented Chakra Vinyasa (for all levels), the breath-centric Bhakti Vinyasa flow (designed for students with prior experience), and the steady-paced power hour (for all levels). Lay down the meditative concrete for a tranquil foundation with a bevy of poses that strengthen the core, improve flexibility, and provide newfound clear-headedness that obviates the need for Magic 8-Balls.

The studio's convenient schedule allows yogis to tickle their fancy and their soft underbellies with ease. Step into Franklin Street’s placid confines, become hypnotized by the lustrous wood floors and good vibes, turn off buzzing cybernetic implants, and prepare for a session of stretchiness that unites the body and mind.

This Groupon is valid for new clients and those who have not attended class for the past 90 days.
