Have You Ever Tried an Aerial Yoga Class at Trio Yoga Studio?
There's no shortage of yoga studios in Miami, but Trio stands apart from the rest. The reason? Its roster of instructors, who, according to countless reviews on Yelp, help foster a warm, welcoming vibe within this independently owned studio. In fact, in the lives of many of Trio's regular clientele, the studio serves more as a community hub than a simple gym; this is where yogis come to socialize, network, and take part in special healing workshops.
Of course, yoga is the focus here, and Trio offers classes in the vinyasa flow and hatha styles of yoga. For the yogi seeking something a little new and different, Trio also hosts classes in AcroYoga and aerial yoga. If you'd just like to dip your toes in the water, you can purchase an introductory package, and explore the classes at a discounted rate.
But no matter which class piques your interest, the ultimate goal of Trio remains the same: to promote both physical and mental well-being in all who walk through its doors.

Create an At-Home Art Gallery With These Simple (and Affordable!) Framing Tips
You want to fill your home's walls with art, but anyone who has ever tried to get something framed knows just how pricey it can be. Luckily, there are a number of great alternatives to professional framing that will still help you to show off your art in an attractive way. Here are just a few smart tips for framing art on the cheap.
- Use an online framing service. Nowadays you can do just about anything online, including framing your art. Browse the web for online framing services like Framebridge and in just a few business days, you'll receive a beautifully framed art print in the mail — often for less than $50!
- Stock up on frames. If you prefer to frame your art on your own, stock up on affordable frames at craft stores or thrift shops. You'll often find secondhand, mass-produced frames backed with craft paper and foam, but don't worry; those can be easily removed.
- Remove the backing. If you do happen to find a great deal on a secondhand frame with built-in backing, remove the layer of craft paper by pulling out the staples or simply cutting it out. Next, remove the inner layer of foam or cardboard by again removing any nails or staples.
- Add a mat. Whether you disassembled your own secondhand frame or bought one new, at this point you'll want to add a mat to create a professional look. You can purchase a mat at any craft store, so long as you carefully measure both the size of your frame (for the mat's outer edge) and the size of the print (for the mat's inside edge).
- Clean the glass. Finally, clean the glass thoroughly and let it dry before placing it back in the frame. If you removed the backing, add your own backing with more craft paper and either glue or staples.
