Yoga and drinking beer are both relaxing: For this special class we will focus on slowing down and being present.

Which means you will have to heighten your focus and concentration so as not to drop your beer!
No yoga experience is necessary, just an open mind and love of beer. This is an all levels yoga class. Please bring your own mat.
