Whiskey-A-Yoga: The Yoga Drinking Game

Introducing our first contributing post from the illustrious yisforyogini. Open a can of Yoga Ha Ha. Bottoms up!

Wherever Gaga goes, the world follows…even if that includes wetting one’s whistle with whiskey whilst rocking a Warrior 1 or two. If crunk = crazy + drunk, then we ’bout to get yogrunk up in here.

Get thee to a nunnery brewery yoga class.Bring along your favorite lubricational libations. (These can be wrapped up in your mat, which is conveniently constructed of materials suspiciously similar to spongy beer cozies.)If the teacher makes a yogalomaniacally dramatic entrance, chug.Chants get chugs, too.Scan the room for the presence of Lululemon. Do a shot for every lemming L-clad yoga body. (It would be almost humanly impossible not to be yogrunk by now, but you must carry on. Patanjali would want it that way. Make him proud.)See a stray toenail sliver skitter across the floor? Substitute it for the worm in your tequila and slosh it back.Score a five-minute break from imbibing if you can convert your nearest mat neighbors into yogrunk game players.First to faceplant during Ardha Chandrasana or any flavor of arm balance gets help putting his/her teeth back in and must lap a beer off the sweatiest mat.Specific poses appearing in the sequence of the day have their own rules:Chug-a-lug for every ChaturangaKnock two back for KukkutasanaGuzzle for Gomukhasana (cows have four stomachs)Slam one during Sphinx (your hands are already in go-position)Pound a pint for each PlankGulp through Garudasana (fly high like an Eagle)Down whatever you’ve got for every Down Dog

10. And just when you thought it was game-over…

One last salivatory swig is a prerequisite for Savasana. Lie back. Settle in. You’ve earned it.

Lo is a writer who lives for mystery and intrigue. She finds joy in the small things: practicing yoga in wellies, defending her favorite “unyogic” behaviors, and writing bios in third person. Lo can often be found sipping Earl Grey tea (not alcohol) while plotting world domination, and resides at yisforyogini.com.*YD reminds you to yoga + drink responsibly. Take two extended savasanas and call us in the morning.Tagged as: adult, Lady Gaga, laughter yoga, yisforyogini
