An effective yoga class should hone the body and mind to a sharpness usually reserved for broadswords defending their graduate theses in astrophysics. Sharpen your edge without a professorial panel with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get 30 days of unlimited yoga at West Hartford Yoga (a $40 value).

West Hartford Yoga's impressive weekly roster of more than 70 classes encompasses a wide range of styles, a selection that earned the studio Hartford Magazine’s 2010 pick as Best Yoga/Pilates and ensures beginners and more experienced yogis find their fit. The studio's signature WHY Power class punctuates a dynamic flow session with long poses, with skilled instructors explaining how to use breath as more than a way to fog up the glass of egotistical vanity mirrors to take them down a peg. Hot Yoga helps pupils deepen their stretches and sweat out toxins while executing a cathartic, Vinyasa-style flow, and restorative classes accommodate to the needs of those recuperating from injury and illness and help agitated minds find balance. Challenging and contemplative Yin Yoga trains limbs to maintain postures for extended periods, cultivating a meditative practice and the skills necessary for engaging in Statue of Liberty-offs with cocky street performers.
