While it may seem that every type of yoga has been explored, two beer-guzzling yoga teachers have pioneered a groundbreaking – and distinctly bizarre – new trend.
Emily and Jhula are the masterminds behind ‘beer yoga’, a German craze that allows fitness fanatics to carry out traditional yoga poses while taking sips of booze.
Astounding photos show nimble yogis in Bangkok, Thailand, deftly balancing a beer bottle on their heads, clutching it as they hold the plank position and holding it high above them during a sun salutation.
Perhaps predicting the temptation to overindulge, enthusiasts are advised to drink just one or two bottles during the one-hour session.
The movement, called ‘Bieryoga’, started in Berlin in 2015 and has spread to cities like Melbourne and Sydney.
Despite gushing that they are ‘passionate about beer’, Emily and Jhula insisted the craze was not all fun and games.
‘Beer Yoga 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,’ the Bieryoga official site reads. –

Please help to support BangkokJack News through these troubled times... Poor government reaction to the COVID virus has left many, including some who rely upon us, in very difficult positions.
And still we try to deliver the REAL news to you on a daily basis. But this all comes at a cost and as tourism has dried up and with expats going home whenever they can, income streams and ad revenue is also drying up.
And this is why we appeal to our tens of thousands of readers to help out however you can - to keep us independent and opinionated.
Just Bt100 per month makes all the difference and will keep some of us in noodle soup for a day.
Alternatively please click on the advert each time you read a story and that will boost our ad revenue, at no cost to yourself.
Thank you so much to those who already do support us. It means a lot to everyone.
