Overview
Having a hard week? Need to get your chi sorted but also just really want a drink? Well, every Sunday you can do both — at a brewery. That's right, a brewery. Every Sunday morning, you can stretch and sip in Marrickville's Stockade Brew Co.
Dubbed Beer 'n' Yoga, the guided class — held at 11am — is hosted by instructor Arabella Stevens and is aimed at a beginner to intermediate level. Fifteen bucks gets you a 60-minute yoga class followed by a free craft beer from the brewery's core range: Chop Shop Pale Ale, 8Bit IPA, Sesh Mid-Strength, Hop Slicer Grapefruit, Mr Fruju NEIPA or Duel Hoppy Lager.
Brewery yoga is already a popular trend across the US craft beer scene, and Sydney has already hosted a couple of iterations of its own. The idea stems from the notion that yoga isn't about incense and austerity, but instead about finding a healthy balance in life. By 'balance', we don't mean practicing upward facing dog with a beer in one hand (although, kudos to you if you can manage that), but appreciating yoga and beer in quick succession.
Bring your yoga mat, an open mind and be sure to pack your drinking hat, too.
