20 Hot Yoga Classes

If our fair city’s fog has you feeling as frozen as an It’s-It, thaw out with a smoking hot session at Hot Yoga Ocean Ave: $20 gets you 20 heated yoga classes (a $200 value). Choose from a variety of 60- to 90-minute classes, including hot yoga, gentle yoga, hot yoga flow, and power yoga. The hot yoga classes at the Ingleside and Pacifica locations are held in rooms heated to a delightfully toasty 103 degrees, where certified instructors lead the chilly masses to chiseled bodies, clear minds, and sweat-soaked stretchy shorts. We’re not going to tell you what to do with the money you save, but we think you should know that $180 buys seven cases of It’s-Its.
