For a trippy twist on team building, the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel and the JW Marriott Grand Rapids in Michigan offer glow-in-the-dark yoga. The one-hour class keeps groups focused thanks to the lack of visibility. By practicing in the dark, attendees are forced to tap into their senses while stretching. Groups start the session by drawing on themselves and each other with glow-in-the-dark body paint, then the class wraps with a dance party and glow-in-the-dark healthy cocktails. Snacks including fresh juices and fruits are provided.
