A mermaid’s tail
It’s not quite yoga, but we think there’s something distinctly ‘yogic’ about being a mermaid: effortlessly gliding with grace through the water, at one with the natural environment, control of the breath. So what could be better than the new Mermaid Fitness classes at the beachfront Hotel Del in Coronado, California, where participants sport colourful mermaid tails before flipping their fins for 45-minute workouts. The sessions, which combine swimming, core strength and cardio training in the hotel’s pool, are a fun new way to exercise, although the tails are a bit pricey at $125 (don’t worry, guys, there are tails for you too). Great if you want to live out your Ariel/Disney dreams. Apparently, most people come just for the Instagram photo opportunity. Sounds just like yoga!
