Free Yoga in Five Fabulous Parks

April 10, 2013 / sniqueaway / Comments Off

As spring gets into full swing (or even a slight swing), we can’t help but think about ways we can soak up the sunshine. Thankfully, the Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa provided inspiration for a fun outdoor activity that combines stress-relief with a sun-sensational setting. Bayfront Park, not far from the hotel, provides free yoga. Free yoga? In a park? That’s right. And as it turns out, it’s not the only city that offers such a sweet deal. Classes are free, but bring your own yoga mat, water bottle and towel.

Yoga on the Go

January 29, 2013 / sniqueaway / Comments Off

What’s a vacation without exercise? Ok, that might seem like a trick question. And most of the time you would be right. There are, however, those moments when a workout might be just the ticket (think: an extra croissant at breakfast) to find balance while away. Topaz, a Kimpton Hotel, in Washington, D.C., recognizes this, and provides complimentary yoga equipment to its guests. For those who aren’t staying someplace with the same perks, you can still find your travel zen with your own yoga gear.

Lululemon Athletica Groove Pant: These ultra-comfortable and breathable pants make exercise fashionable and fun. Plus, there’s a hidden waistband pocket for keys or cards, in case you decide to grab another croissant in the middle of your workout (it’ll be our little secret).
