ANIMAL-ASSISTED YOGA C LASS

Centered Studios

Every month or so (see centered-studios.com for dates), bunnies scamper among the mats during a 75-minute class, then linger for snuggles and selfies. They’re available for adoption — ask instructor Sue Coogan, who brought one home — and either way, your class fee supports the no-kill Red Door Animal Shelter. $25 per class. 7009 N. Glenwood Ave., Rogers Park

HOTEL STAYCATION

The Hoxton

If holing up in a room is your definition of a getaway, the Hoxton, which opened in April, is not your hotel. Not because the industrial-lite rooms don’t have everything you need (including breakfast in a bag, delivered to your door). But because everything you ought to do — Chris Pandel’s Mediterranean restaurant Cira in the lobby, poolside empanadas at Stephanie Izard’s rooftop spot (page 94), late-night cocktails in the darkly lit lounge Lazy Bird — is right outside that door. From $109. 200 N. Green St., West Loop
