If yoga would seem to go hand-in-hand with any beverage, it’s water, kale smoothies or green tea. But now some classes around the world are mixing downward dog with bottoms up: Beer yoga has arrived.
The practice isn’t brand-new, Berlin-based Bier Yoga has been in existence since 2015. But thanks to publicity for events at a pub in Sydney, Australia this weekend, with more planned for Melbourne, it can’t be long before more studios pour themselves a glass of this nifty combination.
“Beer Yoga is the marriage of two great loves — beer and yoga,” says the Bier Yoga website. “Both are centuries-old therapies for body, mind and soul. The joy of drinking beer and the mindfulness of yoga compliment each other, and make for an energizing experience. ”

Sound like a ” Saturday Night Live ” skit? Bier Yoga founders Emily and Jhula say they are serious.
