A growing trend has a session of bending and stretching followed by a session ale.
Detox Retox is part of a growing trend of yoga paired with post-practice beer. These classes, often placed in breweries, are popping up across the country, and some have cheeky names like
Happy Hour Yoga with Joe Sixpack
in Philadelphia,
BrewAsanas
in Colorado (Boulder and Denver) and Three Sheets to the Warrior Pose in Wilmington, Del.
The trend was started two and a half years ago in Charleston, S.C., by Beth Cosi, a restaurant worker turned yoga instructor. Ms. Cosi regularly invited her friends to take her class, but few actually made it to the studio. After connecting with a local brewery, she extended another invitation to her non-yoga-practicing friends to attend a beginner’s class that was followed by a beer tasting.
Ms. Cosi, whose friends showed up, learned that beer is an effective carrot on a stick.
