Forbes has called out Minneapolis as “The Healthiest City in America” despite our
micro-brewery boom, not to mention our growing micro-cidery and micro-distillery scene. So how to maintain our awesome standing created by residents who “breathe clean air, prioritize exercise and keep their weight down, supported by a city that was among the first to add bike trails and ban smoking in public places” as the
Forbes article gushed? Especially with the early onset of winter?
By doing yoga inside the breweries and cideries of course.
GetKnit Events has put together a new series that combines balances with brews for all the micro-boom lovin’ yogis in the Twin Cities. Called
Yoga at the Brewery, the series kicks off Saturday morning at
Urban Growler Brewing Co. in St. Paul. A ticket includes a one-hour all-levels yoga class taught by an instructor from YogaFresh, a flight of five samples for tasting, and exclusive access to the brewery prior to regular hours.
On Saturday, January 10, Yoga at the Brewery takes place at
Sociable Cider Werks in Minneapolis, and on Saturday, February 28 at Excelsior Brewing in Excelsior. On arrival, guests will be situated on yoga mats in their intoxicating environment among the kegs and fermentation tanks. “After toning our bodies and focusing our minds,” according to GetKnit’s website, “we will turn our attention to communal health as we join together to enjoy flights of five brews.”
“How do Twin Cities residents keep up their commitment to fitness during the area's notoriously cold winters?” the
Forbes article asks? Brews and asanas are the answer.
