Dear Tara: thank you for this very interesting post. I’m enthusiastic about all kind of activities relates to health and wellness. I think that alcohol is not recommendable at all if you look for health and wellness. I’m sure that the spirit of yoga is totally opposite to consume alcohol into this practice.

Dear Tara,
Thank you for this news, but I would like to share a doctor’s opinion about the alcohol here.
The doctor who is an expert in cancer and lives in the USA now says “I don’t approve the alcohol at all because the alcohol can cause cancer like smocking.”I myself prefer yoga without beer.
Thanks a lot and best wishes,
