et’s face it: It can be hard to escape the jackhammers, car horns, truck engines, and drunken crowd noise of our densely populated little town. Add to these the tourists, traffic, and frenetic kind of high-tech and financial-services jobs that dominate in Boston and you end up with a city that a University of Houston study found was America’s fastest paced. It gets worse: The average Boston driver spends 57 hours a year stuck in traffic and has to come up with a way to pay a cost of living that’s 38 percent higher than the national average. We need a break just from typing that. Good thing we have a list of places you can go to get away from it all:
1
A yoga studio that’s all about slowing down
2
A smart escape hidden on a famous campus
3
Hot yoga at a healthy price
4
The most relaxing kind of meditation: the free kind
5
Where to find some peace among the bustle of the Pru
6
A (very) quiet place to see Rembrandts, Picassos, and other museum-quality art for free
7
A quiet nook for the relaxing and exotic art of smoking hookah
8
A retro ice-cream shop whose back lounge features classic wingback chairs and couches to relax in

The biggest, most peaceful park you’ve probably never been to
10
A hidden oasis in the heart of JP—and it’s not the one you think
11
A hidden garden in the midst of crowded Beacon Hill

14
A full-service yoga studio in a peaceful ‘burb
15
secret suburban spiritual retreat with yoga classes
16
Mellow yoga in a suburban backyard
17
A bakery that’s also a relaxing place to unwind
18
A quiet, cerebral oasis in the heart of Copley Square
