If you find yourself in Miami on a Friday night and you just can’t come up with that brilliant what-to-do-tonight idea that sends shivers down your spine, think “OM,” as in the h2-OM package at The Standard Spa. The yoga and spa bathing immersion is a let’s turn the traditional idea of yoga on its ear and do something expressive. A rotating team of yogis, yoginis, live musicians and DJ’s participate to help you challenge the traditional practice of the artform.
The weekly experience also includes access to The Standard’s Turkish hamam, the Aroma Steam Room, the Cedar Sauna and the soaking tubs. h2-OM begins at 8 p.m. but don’t fear you’ll be at loose ends too early because the resort’s pool at the edge of Biscayne Bay is one of the most relaxing on the beach (Sorry, those of you with family in tow; no children allowed in the pool.). Given the fact that it’s edged by a super chic waterfront café with excellent poolside service, it’s one of the best places to wind down after a grueling week of work or a hectic day of sightseeing. The resort has been tapped as the sexy/healthy spa in the area and has gained the distinction as the “St. Tropez” of South Beach for a reason.
