‘Rage Yoga Class’ Uses Beer And Profanity To Help Reduce Stress

Everyone has different ways of coping with stress. Some people like to go to the gym and let their rage out through a good workout. Others light candles, take a bath, and listen to some music. Some like to curse up a storm and scream. Others like to drink until they forgot why they were stressed in the first place. Everyone’s different—so, that’s why we need to cater to everyone’s needs at once, not just some.

For many, yoga has been a way to reduce stress and promote relaxation. For others, having to breathe, inhale, smell lavender, and keep silent can be even more stress-inducing than calming. So, instead of having a regular ol’ “namaste” yoga class, there’s a brand new kind of yoga class on the market catered to those who need to scream it out.

Rage Yoga, according to CBS News, originated in Texas by yoga instructor Ashley Duzich.

Duzich understands that yoga is about relaxation and union—which, can mean different things for different people.

“We are all angry about something and we all have been holding onto an ‘F’-bomb for a little bit too long,” she says. “So that’s what this does – is – it allows you to have a safe space to let go of your and frustration and rage in a healthy way… and then also wash it all away with some ice cold beer.”

She added:

We actually take beer breaks during the class. It’s definitely not for everybody and that’s totally OK… I also don’t recommend bringing your children.
