It IS, I promise. lol....I just found out about Beer Yoga today, I thought Rage Yoga was doing well but Beer Yoga is exploding!
The major difference in the two styles is that Rage Yoga doesn't really lead to much meditation, it's about venting your frustrations.
But Beer Yoga is totally centered on meditation and uses beer to help achieve a meditative state. It was started in Germany(which makes sense)by yogis Emily and Jhula.
From their website: 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.
Well there ya have it. These people are serious yogis.
Here's what else they say: We are Emily and Jhula, certified yoga teachers and passionate beer drinkers. Both are important in our lives. Why not combine them? Good question. Most people like the idea.
This class is in London. Looks like beer leg-lift crunches. lol:
This style is growing even faster than Rage Yoga and every article I read mentioned Australia as a country where it's blooming. It's also in Europe of course, and the U.S. and Canada.
This is a class in Canada where they have to hold a glass of beer. That could be tricky.
Holding a bottle or glass of beer takes much more concentration and balance.
Obviously this is not for beginning students.
Ok, this is flat-out advanced stuff here!
Even with advanced students they have to have some accidents I'm sure. lol. But speaking of advanced..this is instructor Emma Joubert from Melbourne, Australia demonstrating a few positions with a bottle:
Very skillful indeed. Although not as entertaining as Rage Yoga, people with a passion for beer are really excited about it. I'm not sure about Rage Yoga but I think Beer Yoga is here to stay.
Balancing a bottle or glass adds more challenge and another level of difficulty to master. Obviously you don't want to start drinking before the session begins!
I also read that Cat Yoga is growing in popularity so I gotta check that out next to see what that's about. I assume you balance your cat in different positions. This one may get into yoga after all. lol.
Thanks for stopping by folks, God bless you all!

PS- I saw this the other day and it struck me as humorous. Did you know you can buy charcoal filters that fit on your underwear to filter gas?
lol..they're called Flatulence Deodorizers. You just get one pad but it can be used over and over. Each one comes with 10 adhesive strips and you attach it to the outside of your underwear.
$24 on Amazon. Just thought you might want to know about these. lol.
