| Day 1 - Mind and Body Workout Since you just got to town, take a chance to clear your mind and get into funky vacation mode. With a dozen yoga studios in the Asheville city limits alone, there are lots of places to catch a drop-in class. Namaste Yoga & Healing Center features classes every day of the week, as well as free time for personal practice. |

| Day 2 - Slip, Slide and Slim Down Hit Sliding Rock for a couple hours of unique, adventurous and slenderizing fun. Sure, you could go on vacation many places and find a water slide. A plastic, manmade water park, however, can't deliver what Sliding Rock can: a 60-foot natural water slide down a well-worn slab of rock. Slide down the rock for a couple hours. |
