Relaxation is one of the elemental forces that keeps human bodies alive, alongside air, water, fire, and antifire. Ease into your element with today's Groupon: for $30, you get $60 worth of luxury spa services at Viva Day Spa. This Groupon is valid at locations on 35th Street and on Lamar Boulevard.

Steps away from the noise and bustle of Austin's city streets, Viva Day Spa maintains an oasis of calm with a quiet waiting room, earth-toned décor, and a variety of pamper-rich services. Therapists lead customers into relaxation rooms adorned with candles or modern lamps, where a 30-minute deep-tissue massage ($60) targets muscle knots with firm pressure and incisive Socratic questioning. During salt or sugar body glows ($70), an aesthetician scrubs away dead skin cells to reveal youthful radiance and employs soothing scents, a scalp massage, and an herbal steam-towel treatment to bolster relaxation. Faces can reboot with the Viva Express facial ($60), a luxurious cleansing facial that includes exfoliation, and waxing or sugaring services ($20+ for brow; $35+ for bikini) swipe away hair before it figures out how to shoplift combs.
