Spring Has Arrived and Yoga Deals the Groupon Way!

Thanks to last night’s awesome workout and this morning’s gorgeous weather I am in the best mood today! It is supposed to reach 70 degrees in NYC today and the sun is already beckoning us to come out and play. In honor of Spring, I enjoyed another yogurt mess this morning featuring some wonderful Spring berry flavors.

This delicious yet unphotogenic mess is the following:

1 Dannon Light n Fit Blueberry Yogurt

5 strawberries quartered

1/3 c Nature’s Path All Bran Buds alternative

1/2 c Special K Protein cereal

1 Tbsp ground flax

This breakfast is flavorful, filling, and filled with healthy protein and fiber. It’s lighter on my stomach than oatmeal and screams SPRING! Better yet, it keeps me full for at least four hours and is easy to prepare at the office.

In other news, today’s NYC Groupon offer had me quite excited! If you aren’t a member yet, click here to join for free! I definitely purchased it immediately and would love for others to join if interested. The offer is TWO WEEKS OF UNLIMITED YOGA AT YOGA WORKS FOR $15.

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 with two weeks of unlimited yoga classes at YogaWorks. For $15, you can gumbify yourself in over a dozen varieties of bendiscipline at any of six YogaWorks New York locations (a $30 value), for either new students or those who’ve not attended a YogaWorks class in at least a year.

Classes vary from location to location, but together you’ll have your pick from more than 100 sessions a week, some starting as early as 6 a.m. and others as late as 8 p.m. YogaWorks’ impassioned and experienced instructors remix pliable poses from well-known traditions such as Ashtanga and Vinyasa with samples from lesser-known paths to lithe enlightenment like Iyengar, known in secret circles as the “way of the swift-handed dancing snake.” There are also specially crafted classes for pre- and post-natal women, kids, and seniors, and hybrid classes such as BarWorks and SculptWorks.

Different poses unblock dammed channels of energy, and deep breathing suffuses the fatigued spirit with renewed vigor, just like blowing into a Nintendo cartridge. 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, with different classes attuned to different levels of ability and a perpetual emphasis on increasing satisfaction and skill

So far, Jesse of  Jesse Runs NYC and I have bought this deal and plan to grab a few yoga classes together. EDITED TO ADD: Just now, when I returned to the site to buy a pass for a friend’s birthday gift, I found this great review on today’s Groupon portion:

The class was a combination of strength, dance and ballet. I really enjoyed it, it was restorative, but never once boring. We moved through arms, legs, butt and abs, and back through, never performing more than one set of each exercise, which is fabulous. – Melissa, Fitness NYC

I love that they featured Melissa’s review! If Melissa enjoyed it then i’m sure I’ll love it! Please let me know if you join the trend and we can have a few group yoga sessions!! I’ve heard great things about Yoga Works!
