‘Drunk yoga’ planned at new Virgin Hotel in Dallas

Move over, goat yoga. Drunk yoga is stumbling into Dallas in early January — just in time for you to nix those New Year's resolutions.

Drunk Yoga is coming to Dallas.

The classes will be Jan. 3-6 at Virgin Hotels Dallas, the funky, new development in the Dallas Design District.

Given the hotel's edge — like how it calls its guest rooms "chambers" and has a dedicated lounge called the Shag Room — Drunk Yoga seems on brand.

The class is part workout, part party, and is suitable for beginners. The 90-minute class starts with a 15-minute happy hour before a 45-minute vinyasa yoga class and a 30-minute "wine down."

Students' cups of wine will be incorporated into the movements and poses during class — which means they can sip while they slip into drunkward dog ... er, downward dog.

Drunk Yoga founder and CEO Eli Walker will lead the classes on the fourth-floor pool club. The pool isn't open until springtime, so the class doubles as a sneak-peek inside an area that hotel guests may not otherwise see.

The four classes take place at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 3; noon and 7 p.m. Jan. 4; and 1 p.m. Jan. 5. A $45 ticket price includes two glasses of wine. It's BYO-mat.

According to a press release, Drunk Yoga is always hosted at unconventional places like bars or — get this — on yachts. "This approach allows those who are otherwise too intimidated to try yoga to build a community and discover the beneficial practice of yoga while having fun," says the release. The idea is to get classmates "drunk on joy, not on alcohol," it says: So drink responsibly.

There's a two-glass limit, and the teacher cautions against pre-partying before class.

While non-traditional yoga classes have become popular in Dallas-Fort Worth, boozy yoga classes have been a little more scattered. A few examples of recent events include Yoga and Spritzers at The Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas; rooftop yoga and mimosas at HG Sply Co.; and beer and yoga pairings at a handful of breweries.

But there's certainly a market for off-beat yoga classes. We've seen dozens of sold-out events in North Texas like goat yoga, puppy yoga and kitty yoga.
