The trend of drunk yoga, began in New York, and is now beginning to pop up in other metropolitan cities and abroad! Class-goers love it because they have the chance to double de-stress, by pairing their wine with their favorite yoga poses.
Drinking wine while completing your yoga class is more than just every twenty-somethings fantasy, especially when it comes to a rich Chianti Classico or fresh Chardonnay.
Practitioners of the new form of yoga say that having wine during the class helps to embrace the feeling of community. Drinking wine during yoga also helps you to relax quicker, which will put all of your senses in tune to what is really happening with your body. Wine and yoga are both known stress relievers, so most people leaving the class feel a lot less stressed than they did before entering.
Wine is also proven to lessen your risk of getting heart disease or high blood pressure. Yogis are still very conscious of their practice; some may argue even more so. This is not just another reason to drink, but the combo is actually a well-thought out one. And it should be clear, that though the class is known as “Drunk Yoga”, yogis do not get drunk nor will anyone be waking up with a hangover the next day. Class-goers take the class as seriously as they would without the wine, but the overall feeling of the room is more relaxed than normal. The teachers of the classes are all highly trained and practiced yoga instructors, which helps to maintain the structure and validity of the class.

Even if you are nervous about your yoga skills, it is worth giving yoga/wine a try. There are still classes offered at different levels, and regardless, everyone in the class is there to completely tune out the world and relax into what is being instructed. Most people recommend going with friends if it is your first-time trying yoga. This alleviates any stress or embarrassment you might be afraid to have.
Like other studios, most studios offer a trial class in the case of you being afraid to commit to a group of classes. The environment of the classes is designed for anyone, so this makes it fairly easy to learn the practice. If you've ever considered taking a yoga class, this is the one to take! You will feel comfortable and at ease as you sip your wine through the night's practice.
