Grab a friend, a lover or the nosy neighbor down the hall for a “Ménage à Twist” on Friday, December 7th, when The Standard Spa and Ayama Yoga Founder Mariano (Mano) Ardissone host a workshop featuring asanas for singles, couples and threesomes.

This engaging 120-minute yoga class will explore various postures and flow sequences with partners in unique ways that offer greater assist, adjustment and connection. Paired in groups of twos and threes, partners will work together to go deeper into poses while building a sense of trust, compassion and intimacy with others.

Before and after class, students can enjoy complimentary use of the spa’s Hamam, sauna and steam rooms. Part of The Standard Spa’s H2-OM yoga series, this one night workshop is open to the public and the cost is $30.

Beginning at 8 p.m., Mano’s two-hour class is a mixed-level and dynamic asana practice that allows students to work at their own level while engaging in creative, intelligent sequencing of asanas, vinyasas, restorative twists and breathing techniques, including pranayama variations. Settle in for a sweet sweat to feel poised, powerful, lighter, brighter and more energetic.

Mano is the founder and director of Ayama Yoga & Healing Arts in North Miami Beach. With more than 15 years of experience studying, practicing and teaching yoga, he has appeared as a guest on numerous TV stations including NBC, CBS, CW, Telemundo and The Discovery Channel.
