Garima Goswami, 05 May, 2016 01:31 PM
    Mother’s Day is almost here and if you haven’t already decided on any surprises yet, here are some ideas to look into. 
     
    Yoga & Spa
    Vida Spa at YYoga is offering a complimentary Yoga session for moms and moms-to-be. The space is influenced by the teachings of Ayurveda, so you can enjoy an experience from the past.  You can identify your Dosha, which is basically dividing personalities into three categories- Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and accordingly receive a spa treatment. 
     
    Miraj Hammam Spa is perfect if you need to gift your mother a spa experience in a totally different cultural setting. In the midst of Middle Eastern vibe, you can opt for a steam chamber followed by massage and exfoliation. Mother's Day special brings you Black Moroccan Soap exfoliation in Jerusalem gold marble steam room, followed by a 30-minute full body massage with aromatic essential oils & aromatherapy facial. Gift certificates are available until May 15th.
     
    Manicure & Pedicure
    Making a second appearance on the list, Vida Spa will exceed your expectations. From the ambience to the staff and excellent treatments, you are sure to make a memorable date with your mother here. 
     
    Le Petit Spa has earned the respect of Vancouverites to become a trusted name. Their Mother’s Day special extends through the entire month of May offering a 15% discount on any treatment for you and your mother. 
     
    Zip-lining
    The brave-hearted duo can venture out for a Zip-lining experience in Whistler. Enjoy the gorgeous ride to Whistler, the beautiful village and from there head out to Cougar Mountain to take a SuperFly Zip-lining tour. It lasts for about three-hours and what’s best is that they are offering a Mother’s Day discount bringing down a $129 deal to $99. What fun!
