The Hillsdale Brewing Company will host its next biweekly yoga session at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18. 

“Those choosing to join can grab a beer, wine, or cider to sip along with during class,” said Felicia Ray Finch, co-owner of the Hillsdale Brewing Company. 

Heather Williams of Soul Inspirations teaches the classes. 

Williams said the brewing company’s Indoor Beer Garden  is the perfect atmosphere for stretching, zen, and brews. 

“The fact that you can grab your lunch right there afterward is an extra bonus,” Williams said. “I have even had a group come as a way to start a birthday weekend.”

Adrienne Magda has been attending the class since the start of the year.

“I always leave the class feeling calm, relaxed, and happy,” Magda said. “I love that Heather always starts class with a positive affirmation reading, and we end class with a positive ‘I am’ statement.” 

According to Magda, the class is laid back, and there is a diverse group of people who participate in the class. 

“I know a lot of people can be intimidated by yoga, but I’d really like to encourage them to give beer yoga a try,” Magda said. “The laid back and encouraging environment makes for a good time for everyone, including beginners.”

Magda said her favorite beer to order during the class is “Peanut Butter Porter”. 

“When that’s out of season I also enjoy the ‘Oatmeal Stout’ or the ‘Peppermint Stout’,” Magda said.

Williams said she is extremely thankful the Hillsdale Brewing Company continually offers different things to the community and that they have given her the opportunity to bring her passion for yoga to Hillsdale.
