“Drunk Yoga - it's a thing! Friends, couples and work colleagues come to the bar for team building.”
“Drunk Yoga is a fitting response to these times."
“The word yoga, at its root, means ‘to join’ or ‘to unite.’ What unites strangers better than a few glasses of wine during a silly, shared experience?”
“Drunk Yoga is an entertainment experience led through a beginner-friendly yoga class that teaches the art of cultivating personal joy…”
“Eli Walker founded Drunk Yoga because it meshed with her love for the practice and served as a reminder to never stop playing.”
“Drunk Yoga is here to show us that, in this modern world, we can do a workout with a glass of wine in hand.”
“We’ll uncork the wine, play some music and mingle. Your Drunk Yoga teacher will then bring everyone to their mats for a 45-minute beginner-friendly yoga class with wine in-hand.”
“Eli Walker, the founder of Drunk Yoga and a certified astrologer, isn’t a proponent of getting drunk — though you’re welcome to enjoy a complimentary wine, beer, or mimosa in her yoga classes — but it’s about getting drunk, in a sense, on the good feelings of connecting with others, celebrating community, and trying something new with supportive strangers.”
“A twist on a vinyasa yoga class mixed with happy hour, classes are always held in non-traditional venues like at bars, on rooftops, or yachts.”
“Combine it [yoga] with the ultimate chillax-er (wine) and, my friends, we're on to a winner.”
“Walker's class, however, combines alcohol with vinyasa — a method of yoga that allows movements to form in a sequential flow in coordination with breath.”
“You’ll enjoy Drunk Yoga® classes (sipping and stretching with cocktails in hand), one-on-one birth chart readings, Eli’s signature Divine Your Story character-development workshops to gain self-insight for the year ahead and more.”
“She wanted to create a safe atmosphere for newbies and veterans alike to make new friends over a glass of wine and just lighten the f*ck up about yoga.”
“Drunk Yoga is designed to take the intimidation out of yoga and introduce a bit of wine-induced levity.”
“For the first time, Drunk Yoga is coming to Los Angeles, with a four day schedule of 7 tipsy events. Each class lasts 90 minutes, and vary based on your idea of fun!”
“With Walker’s approach, students are able to build a community and discover the beneficial practice of yoga while having fun.”
“‘This retreat is for the “spiritually-curious” folks who perhaps aren't quite ready to take the plunge into a full 10-day vegan yoga and meditation retreat/cleanse, but are ready to dive a little deeper into understanding themselves and their relationship to the universe in a fun, pressure-free environment,’ Walker explains.”
“As admirable as it may be to have that skill-set, though, yoga is so much more than its poses,”
“…one local yoga teacher says this spotlight effect strikes so many first time students she's launched a ‘drunk yoga’ class to loosen up beginners.”
“It's structured, stimulating, and not nearly as intoxicating as that situation sounds.”
“As the name indicates, a Drunk Yoga class is pretty light-hearted in nature. As soon as I arrived at my first class, the energy was relaxed and incredibly welcoming.”
“Drunk Yoga® is about playing, about learning to cultivate joy through the magic of connecting with others.”
“With the first month of a new year and decade coming to a close, Eli Walker, founder of Drunk Yoga and certified astrologist, is inviting guests on a long weekend of mental wellness, self-care, and other beachy good times.”
“The New Year, Do You Retreat allows guests to focus on their mental and physical health while also imbibing on delicious drinks and getting their astrological birth charts read. This might actually be the ultimate getaway for millennial travelers.”
“Students’ cups of wine will be incorporated into the movements and poses during class — which means they can sip while they slip into drunkward dog ... er, downward dog.”
“…ever since Eli Walker founded her casual, pretense-free, wine-fueled yoga classes back in 2017, Drunk Yoga has become a full-on movement.”
“This meeting of alcohol and asana appeals to a certain demographic of people—mainly beginners who feel too intimidated to attend a regular yoga class…”
“This roving series aims to lift your spirits and create community around the potent union of yoga and social ritual…”
“…it's actually more about the experience than it is about losing weight and as Walker says, 'Happiness is health.'“
“Each session includes a pre-class happy hour, 45 minute yoga and a post flow “wine down”. Classes are beginner-friendly.”
“Some may say that drinking as you do yoga defeats the purpose of it, but others say it can help you relax your body—especially if it’s your first time.”
“ALCOHOL MIGHT SOUND like an unnatural third-wheel to astrology and yoga, but hey, exercise is a little easier when you’re buzzed. And if you’re an astrology skeptic, getting drunk might be exactly what you need to start believing in zodiac signs and birth charts.”
“Changing your container—like your physical location—offers new perspectives that’ll help ‘re-write’ some of your life’s narratives that keep you feeling stuck.”
