Whether you’re getting steamy in hot yoga or layering up to hit the glowy trails, take advantage of the love-saturated air to create your own warm fuzzies with these wellness-inspired dates and activities that are better when shared with someone you like like.
Get Fit Together
Tow your S.O. to barre or yoga with you. (Boys, earn brownie points by going to a “girly” class with your G.F.—maybe you’ll earn actual brownies, too.) It feels like your sweat sesh should take place at Barry’s Red Room.
Ski with Your Soul Mate
Celebrate sliding into DMs—or however you met cute—by sliding through the snow before snuggling up with some hot chocolate (ahem, Fairlife chocolate milk makes a great healthier hot one). Scoot your winter boots along trails lit by flickering candles throughout the month. On February 8, the Luminary Loppet encompasses more than 1,200 luminaries and unique ice sculptures around Lake of the Isles. Check out more ways to glide and glow here.
Save your ski sesh for warmer temps with Winter Play Day on February 22 at Three Rivers Parks, when the park system offers free rentals of skis, snowshoes, and kick sleds, and free activity passes for park areas, as well as discounted rates for tubing, downhill skiing, and snowboarding at Elm Creek Winter Recreation Area, among other activities.
Take to the Ice
Put your date on ice with a late skate on Valentine’s Day evening at Bloomington Ice Garden. If your blood’s a little too thin for the outdoor stuff, opt for indoor inline skating at Modist Brewing Co., where the brewery transforms into a roller rink for V-Day each year.
Dance Like No One’s Watching
Heart eyes for anything that gets us moving our hips in unison. Both locations of Arthur Murray Dance Centers are hosting a dance party on February 13. Learn to Lindy hop with your love (or solo!) at Uptown Swing. Build from beginner with classes at Duende Dance Studio, which offers bachata and salsa lessons. Duende’s monthly lessons culminate in a big dance party to showcase your spryest steps.
Soak and Spa with Your Sweetie
From scrubs, masks, and wraps to massages, botanical treatments, and skincare spoilers, freshen up with facials and spa treats side by side at the Four Seasons. Psst, Four Seasons spa is newly offering a HydraFacial, which cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates in one luxury.
