Drink up, it’s beer yoga

PHNOM PENH: For some, a group activity that combines exercise with alcohol may seem like the ideal coronavirus stressbuster, but yoga purists should probably avoid Phnom Penh’s TwoBirds Craft Beer brewery while it’s taking place.

The brewery’s yoga classes combine holding a pose with clutching a beer and they’re attracting devotees.

‘‘I have more fun with beer yoga. It’s not as serious as traditional yoga,’’ Sreyline Bacha (25) said as she reached for a beer glass, wobbling a little to maintain her balance in a pose.

‘‘If you fall over, or something, nobody is going to look at you in a strange way. It’s all about the fun,’’ said Connor Cheney Kirsch, general manager of the company which owns TwoBirds. — Reuters
