Welcome to our Yoga + Beer® community, where our love for yoga and the PNW unites. We are excited to have you join us for practice and a pint.
What is Yoga + Beer®? Well ... it's exactly what it sounds like, and also, so much more. Our studio started as a PNW brewery, and over the years we’ve expanded to include local wineries, cideries, hop farms, parks, islands, alleys, coffee houses, and other locations that are creating something intentional and passion-filled for their community. Our post-class refreshment is a beer (and sometimes wine, or cider, or water, or tea), because it’s not really about the beverage, it’s about the time spent together, as a community.
Sometimes we gather for yoga. Sometimes we volunteer together, or read books together. But our community gatherings are always centered around connection - with ourselves, with others, and with our community. We strive to create spaces and experiences that foster a sense of belonging. Because we all crave a place to belong. We hope you’ll find that here.
We take our role in creating and holding space very seriously, and are constantly challenging our assumptions and ideas about what creates a space of belonging and who feels like they belong in that space. We welcome your feedback, thoughts and ideas - because our community builds and defines this community.
We began hosting Yoga + Beer® classes in August 2013 at Rogue Farms in Independence, Oregon. What we thought would be a one-time event, has turned into 1,000+ classes, in communities across the states of Oregon and Washington at over 50 different breweries. wineries, cideries, coffee roasteries, and other local businesses.
Our teachers are all at least 200-hour Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT) and were hand-selected as Yoga + Beer teachers based on their passion for making this practice accessible for everyone. And our crew of yogis, well, they are amazing and the sort of people that you'll want to be friends with.
We like to talk about Yoga + Beer® as the combination of things that make us feel good. Non-intimidating, all-levels yoga for everybody and every body. Locally crafted beverages, enjoyed at the PNW businesses that passionately make them. And a welcoming community to gather with friends, new and old. If you think that sounds like your cup of tea, or pint of beer - we would love to have you join us!
Cheers & Namaste,
The Yoga + Beer Crew
