'Brewga' pairs frosty beverages with fitness

With the last few scheduled Yoga and a Pint classes being cancelled due to the COVID-19, local yoga instructor Amélie Goudreau is happy to be able to host some upcoming classes under a new name, Brewga. 

Brewga classes will be held at Northern Superior Taproom on Sunday, Dec. 5 from 10 a.m. to noon, and Sunday, Dec. 19 at the same time. To register, click here and the cost is $30 each, including the pint. 

“The concept is still the same. You can come in by yourself or with friends and family and do an hour of yoga, followed by a pint of your choice. This is a great way to have fun while still maintaining social distancing and following COVID guidelines,” Goudreau said. “There will also be canned mixed drinks available, in case people don’t drink beer.”

Yoga mats will be spread out six feet apart, masks will be worn while not doing yoga, and proof of vaccination will be required. 

“My biggest goal when it comes to teaching yoga is to make it accessible for everybody so it’s just going to be a nice, gentle, lighthearted yoga class,” Goudreau said. 

“Sometimes yoga classes can be intimidating but knowing that you’re going to socialize, do some light yoga and enjoy a refreshing pint afterwards makes it more fun,” she said. 

Goudreau says that it’s important to incorporate yoga into your life because yoga is for everyone.

“You don’t need to be flexible or strong, you can show up and be accepted as you are. It also makes you feel more calm and fulfilled, even when off the mat,” she said.
