Bend it At Brits: YogaFit Studios
There's a yoga studio in Mpls called YogaFit and they put on what may be the most wonderful night event ever.
Picture this ya'll: A badass girl DJ Lenka who slays the turntables, two incredible instructors that will kick. your. ass. and last but not least, about 60 fellow yogis who are just as pumped to be there as you are.
Bend it At Brits started a few years ago but in 2015 owner of Brits Pub, Shane Higgins reached out to YogaFit to take over the bendy evening. Jen Regenscheid (one of the beautiful aforementioned instructors) describes the event as an opportunity to mix the beauty of yoga with the energy of DT Minneapolis.
I can say from experience, that seeing the sun setting over the surrounding IDS building while in an upward dog was near magic.
Jen's been bending for over ten years, girl knows her sh*t. Her intention with instructing the practic is to allow her yogis connect with their breath, move intentionally, and find their edge by honoring their body.
Jen leads the event with fellow instructor, Monica Steelman. If you're into the kind of instructor who is wildly motivating even on your 100th mountain climber, see this girl. That might be in her resume or should be.
When I asked the annoying question "tell me about yourself" Monica gave me a quote that is undeniable; a community that sweats together stays together.
Point is, Bend it at Brits was amazing and YogaFit exists all the time in NE Minneapolis, so check it out and invite me to come with you.
