If you are a wannabe yogi with a penchant for craft beer, a new trend might have you bounding out of the house before you can say "namaste."
Chicago area breweries have caught on to trends in Colorado, California and other spots around the country by launching their own brand of yoga and beer tasting events, some of which are in direct smelling distance of fermenting beer.
The result seems to be a light, fun social scene where loose limbs and tasty brews give way to a less inhibited crowd and a relaxed vibe which might appeal to those new to or intimidated by traditional yoga classes.
"It really encourages you to stay after because you're there for yoga and beer," said John O'Hara, a participant at a recent beer/yoga event at Temperance Beer Company in Evanston. "It sort of forces you to talk to everyone else."
