Pasadena Yoga

It's a longer walk, but if you can do standing head to knee, you can walk 15 minutes to this Pasadena yoga studio. Take Allen to Walnut and head south on Oak to Colorado. Bring the usual -- mat, towel, water and a determination to get that body in shape. Single classes are $18. They also have package rates, so if you committed to a year of yoga and literally went every day, your class would be about $3 a day. www.bikrampasadena.com
