Overview
Yoga and a Pint combines a weekend yoga class with a post-session drink at Lake Monster Brewing in St. Paul. Classes are held every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 a.m., offering a laid-back, community-focused experience. The $24 fee covers a one-hour yoga session suitable for all levels, followed by a free beer, CBD seltzer, or kombucha.

The class began when Lake Monster Brewing opened in 2015 and has since drawn over 2,000 attendees, becoming a weekend tradition for many.
Classes and Approach
The yoga is taught by Viv, who has been instructing since 2010 and has cultivated a style that balances movement, strength, and stretching with an emphasis on joy. Classes feature fun music and a flow that keeps participants moving, but remain accessible to all experience levels. Viv offers modifications and encourages a low-pressure atmosphere where the focus is on enjoyment rather than perfection. In addition to standard weekend classes, there are special holiday sessions for occasions like Mother’s Day, Halloween, and Pride, as well as an end-of-year challenge with rewards for consistent attendance. Sundays also include homemade Chex Mix, adding a personal touch.
Visitor Experience
Reviewers consistently praise the welcoming, inclusive environment that Viv fosters. The class attracts a diverse crowd of regulars, from beginners to longtime practitioners, and many describe the community as friendly and supportive. The brewery setting provides a unique backdrop, with indoor space and an outdoor patio for summer sessions. After class, attendees often stay for a drink and socialize, playing games like cribbage or simply enjoying the company. The group has also given back over $10,000 to various causes through community efforts. For those unable to afford the class, Viv encourages them to reach out, reflecting the inclusive ethos. Whether coming solo or with friends, visitors find a rejuvenating workout and a social experience that has become a staple of many St. Paul weekends.
