Drink Beer And Om At These Yoga Classes
Just don't fall over
If your New Year's resolution was to flow through sun salutations but you're finding it hard to give up the party life, there's now a middle way: BierYoga. These classes, which hail from Germany, combine drinking beer with yoga poses (and possibly falling over), Mashable reports.
It's the "marriage of two great loves—beer and yoga. Both are centuries-old therapies for mind, body and soul," according to the company. "BeerYoga is fun but it's no joke. We take the philosophies of yoga and pair it with the pleasure of beer drinking to reach your highest level of consciousness."
The company is popping up with a couple of classes in Sydney, Australia, this weekend. But if you're stateside, there's NY Foodgasm Presents Beer + Yoga, where poses include "drunken warrior" and "earn your beer." The program started a year ago and the team is launching Beer Fit Club soon, which plans to incorporate beer into races and bootcamp classes.
As for those beer and yoga classes, just make sure not to spill on your mat. It smells enough already.
