Personally, I think wine goes with everything. I like to bring wine on bike rides, sip a glass while watching sun sets and moon rises, you get the idea.
The Days of Wine and Yoga While the notion of combining yoga with another facet of American pop culture is nothing new, serious yogis may draw the line at wine.ON the one hand, there is Angela Gargano, a yoga instructor in Madison, Wis., who doesn’t quite see what the big deal is.
“Yoga can be very serious, sure, but why not have it be really fun?” she said, shrugging off concerns that yoga purists might raise an eyebrow at her latest venture — yoga-and-wine retreats.On the other hand, there are those like Nancy Elkes, a New York-based yoga trainer and instructor who doesn’t necessarily condemn drinking — she just isn’t so sure it goes with yoga.
“After a yoga class,” she said, “the last thing you’re thinking about getting is a drink.”
Ya see, this is why I don't like Yoga classes.
Seriously though, Rachel Cimino as a point:
But for Rachel Cimino, a Californian who has practiced with Sikh instructors at Los Angeles’s star-studded yoga empire, Golden Bridge Yoga, the deviation from ritual isn’t a deal-breaker.“Yoga has become so American, and we have this cafeteria attitude of picking and choosing what we like,” Ms. Cimino said. “If you were very serious, it would definitely interfere with being a yogi. The best time to do yoga is at twilight, from 3 to 5:30 in the morning, when your energy is most powerful. And if you’re hung over, you’re altering your chemistry.”
