Want a summer body? You may expect encouragement from your friends, peers, and family, but now you have an additional — and unlikely — source of motivation: W Hotels. The hip, luxury hotel brand just announced its partnership with famed yogi Tara Stiles, who owns the Strala Yoga studio in New York City, to create a 12-minute yoga workout video. The video, now available for free in the brand’s 45 properties worldwide, includes four mini-workouts and is particularly traveler-friendly; featured yoga sequences purposely target stress, muscle tightness, and jet lag with energy-boosting positions and movements. And true to the W’s quirky style, they announced the partnership by having a truck pull Stiles around in a glass box along NYC’s streets — all the while, she was performing yoga poses. Namaste.
