In the mood: How to ignite the embers of love
Valentine's Day can be challenging. It all seems to be about shaking off corporate clichés while avoiding the flying knives that inevitably accompany not doing anything at all. To help you walk this amorous tightrope we have compiled a list of Valentine's Day activities that stray from the beaten path.HOT POD YOGARomcoms have taught us that couples who sweat together, stay together, and seeing a significant other contorting into delicious positions while wrapped in skintight yoga attire can reignite lusty embers.Hot Pod Yoga helps apply a spark to that flame by ensconcing up to 20 people in an inflatable pod with an ambient temperature of 37°C.There will be Hot Pod Yoga classes on Valentine's Day at 9am and 4pm.

Sadly this list leaves one of the most powerful sexy time party starters off the list: fear. When administered correctly a healthy dose of fear can dramatically ramp up the romantic rev counter.This is where bungee jumping comes in. Push your lover off a high platform with only a rope to hold her feet and when she returns you'll both have a great anecdote and some pent-up energy to dispose of.www.playatheight.co.za or www.orlandotowers.co.zaLASER TAGSometimes your significant other can be frightfully annoying. He doesn't listen, is perpetually flatulent and convinced that he's never been wrong in his life. This kind of behaviour can lead to fantasies about shooting him.The good news is, now you can.
