Join us for BEER-YOGA every Sunday!
Imagine yourself centered on your yoga mat. You breathe deeply and evenly as you feel your body come into alignment. Slowly, you shift into a lunge. Your hips are centered, your arms lifted to the sky. Warrior one.
After a long week, you have the weekend to unwind. After a weekend of family, friends, and adventures, you need time to yourself before jumping back into the work week.
That’s why weekend warriors gather at RNBC every Sunday at 11:00 AM, for an hour-long yoga practice to stretch out, center themselves, and prepare for the week ahead.
And, of course, to have a couple of drinks afterward!
At Rusty Nickel Brewing Co., we’re lucky enough to have a large, tranquil outdoor space perfect for those yoga sessions during the warmer months and a rustic, peaceful indoor space so you can get your weekend yoga fix throughout the colder parts of the year!
We’re also lucky to have an instructor like Maddie Hallmark to guide us through the hour.
Maddie, who teaches at Evolation Yoga, Creative Wellness, and privately, plans a class for beginners and intermediate level students each week.
“Yoga can be intimidating and I think that a lot of guys, and even girls, think that you have to be a certain person to do it,” Maddie said. “Sometimes walking through the studio door is the hardest part. But walking onto a brewery with a bunch of your friends on a Sunday afternoon is so easy.”
Since her Sunday students are coming from different levels of expertise, Maddie leaves out advanced poses that might involve handstands or intense back bends, and understands that some students might choose to modify the poses based on how their body is reacting to the workout.
“There’s always a modification to every single yoga pose,” she explained. “You can always take a seat if something doesn’t feel right. I encourage that because I am dealing with injuries myself just from doing too much. Sometimes you just need to stop and slow down and listen to your body.”
The session starts with a warm up before moving on to some of the more challenging poses. Maddie guides the class through each pose and transition through prompts, giving students tips that help them get the most out of their workout.
When class is over, students may take their drink tokens to the bar and exchange them for a beer, cider, award-winning bloody mary or one of our other craft beverages.
Each yoga class is $12 and includes one hour of yoga and a drink. Wear comfortable clothes and bring your yoga mat. For week to week ticket information, check our Facebook page or sign up HERE
