Tap Into the Restorative Power of Yoga

At the end of a busy week at the office and at home, we all appreciate finding time to sit back, relax, clear your mind and take a deep breath.

For many, the ultimate reward for hard work is the balance and calmness found in yoga.  Yoga is known to create strong, flexible bodies for a longer, happier life. 

What better place to stretch, breath and rejuvenate mind and body than in a cozy and warm space close to home.

This week Great Escape highlights two local studios to practice yoga in a comfortable and rewarding atmosphere.

Be Yoga Fit Peabody is conveniently located near several major highways and offers numerous classes and several styles of yoga.  Their philosophy is not about perfection or contorting your body into uncomfortable positions, but instead focusing on just beginning today to become a better you.

Bikram Yoga Danvers, open since October 2010, offers a state-of-the-art studio,with large and comfortable shower rooms and radiant panel heating. 

Bikram Yoga series consist of 26 postures and two breathing exercises in a heated room, with certified instructors.   In each class you will see everyone from absolute beginner to expert, all working together as a group.

Devotees swear by the restorative and centering power that can be found in the Bikram series.
