Free Sunday Yoga in Durham

Leave it to Fullsteam, Durham's all purpose space for food truck gatherings, run club meet-ups, cheesy movie screenings and various local shenanigans, to casually morph a brewery into a Sunday morning yoga studio.

Breath deep the aroma of hops
and malted barley
I've been on a bit of a yoga kick recently, especially free sessions, and decided to check out Flow Yoga at the Brewery. The class meets Sundays at 10 45 AM and is open to all experience levels (just be sure to bring your own mat).

I am by no means an accomplished yogi, but still felt comfortable going through the different class poses, taking breaks or modifying positions when needed (especially when a girl nearby was going into full-on-body-pretzel mode).

An unexpected bonus to doing yoga in a brewery: the large warehouse atmosphere is surprisingly conducive to the meditative vibe that yoga is most effective in. The room is very open and spacious, slightly warm from the freshly bubbling brew, and the large overhead fan makes for soothing background noise.

Best of all, by the time I was all stretched out and feeling loosey goosey, the bar was just opening up to serve the first round of pints. 

Now that's the recipe for a relaxing Sunday.
