$40 for a 10-Class Punch Card at Ocean State Bikram Yoga in Pawtucket ($120 Value)

Before the invention of hot yoga, thermal workouts usually involved shoveling coal in a boiler room or replacing football pads with Hot Pockets. Heat up your workout with today’s Groupon: for $40, you get a 10-class punch card at Ocean State Bikram Yoga in Pawtucket (a $120 value). Ocean State Bikram Yoga’s experienced instructors lead students of all skill levels through therapeutic, high-energy Bikram posturing performed in a heated room. Aspiring yogis can choose from a bustling roster of 19 weekly classes helmed by nimble instructors certified directly by hot-yoga founder and champion balloon-animal sculptor Bikram Choudhury himself. Each 90-minute tutorial chaperones practitioners through a swift rotation of 26 poses and two breathing exercises. Body-bending instructors calibrate each class to promote calorie-torching perspiration and release muscles from the shackles of over-tight ligaments, binding tendons, and rubber-band girdles. In addition to sparking caloric bonfires, consistently practiced Bikram yoga can chip away at chronic pain and reverse the effects of injury. Ocean State Bikram Yoga’s spacious studio nestles cozily in a restored old mill, retrofitted with resilient carpeting, mirrored walls, and a host of private showers, dressing rooms, and diamond-encrusted grindstones. Rookie yogis should consult the studio’s first-time tips and bring or rent a towel and mat ($2 each, not included with deal).
