Beer yoga is a health craze

That beer belly probably has no excuse to stay, if the latest fitness trend is to be taken seriously. Beer yoga is the latest fitness practice that allows you to grab that pint of beer, and lose that extra flab at the same time. After getting popular in Berlin, Germany, it’s now getting popular elsewhere. Germany’s BierYoga (BeerYoga) calls itself “marriage of two great loves — beer and yoga. Both are centuries-old therapies for mind, body and soul,” on the website.

The founder, yogi Jhula writes, “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.” Beer yoga involves taking a sip of beer and following it with an hour-long yoga session. We wonder what yoga purists have to say about this.
