My schedule finally opened up to allow me to participate in Vinyasa in the Vineyard Yoga with Brianne Barrett from Bhogah Yoga last weekend. It was just what I needed!
What is Vinyasa In The Vineyard?
Brianne’s class is a 75-minute yoga practice that takes place atop the Rosabianca Vineyard’s hillside. We had a beautiful view of the Vineyard from up above it, as well as the surrounding farms and hillsides. It was gorgeous.
The class was appropriate for my level of yoga experience. If you are familiar with the names of the poses, then you can follow along easily. If you aren’t, Brianne leads while you follow. There’s no pressure to be an expert or have any experience with yoga at all.
Brianne’s Teaching Style
Brianne has a hands-on approach to the class. During some of the stretches, she walked around us and assisted us in getting a deeper stretch. You can choose to decline the hands-on approach if you don’t feel comfortable with that.
During the last pose which is my favorite pose “corps pose“, she came around and rubbed the arches of my feet. Feeling that sensation reminded me that I am far overdue for a massage! It was awesome.
I was laying on my mat, completely relaxed, in the shade of the trees. I could hear the wind rustling through the leaves, and I felt the breeze blowing over me. It was blissful.
What Do You Receive When Attending Vinyasa In The Vineyard?
Wine!
During this specific class, you will receive a drink ticket to enjoy a beverage of choice offered by the vineyard. This includes water, juice, soda, or wine.
Yoga
A 75-minute yoga session taught by Brianna. You can bring your own mat, but she does provide some if you do not have one.
What To Bring To the Yoga In The Vineyard
- Yoga mat – bring your own or borrow one from the instructor
- Water – It’s important to stay hydrated during class
- A small towel – If attending the class in the heat, a towel is nice to wipe the sweat off your face
- A yoga strap – For some of the deeper stretches, it’s helpful to use a yoga strap to help you lengthen your muscles.
- A yoga brick – If you aren’t as flexible, the brick is helpful for balance.
This class is a wonderful class to bring a friend to. I didn’t mind going alone. I needed some “me time” and this was the perfect prescription for that! Next time, I’d love to have some of my friends to join so they can experience the amazing, invigorating practice, and then we can relax at the vineyard.
Do you do yoga? Do you have a local studio that does classes outdoors? If so you should really check it out! It’s a wonderful experience and something different. Share your experience with me in the comments below!
Yoga and Wine! What a perfect combination for anyone, sounds like a great event to head to with the girlfriends.
I have done it alone both times; but am trying to recruit friends to see if they can join me for the next one!
What a beautiful spot for a yoga class. Relaxing and then do you indulge in a glass of wine afterwards.
Combining yoga and wine is such a brilliant idea which I have never done before in my life. You have inspired me to try out new thing and love the idea.
wow this sounds amazing, and right up my alley. two of my favorite things!
What a wonderful combination! Doing yoga in a vineyard should be a unique experience.
Even if you don’t have something in your area, I heard that Adrienne yoga on youtube is good, try bringing it outdoors at your home!
What a fun idea of doing yoga at a vineyard! Looks like you had a beautiful afternoon..I’d love to attend!
You should see if there is something like that with yoga studios in your area or suggest it to someone!
I super love the idea to do yoga in a vineyard! The place is so peaceful and so full of amazing energy, it should be amazing to do yoga there. Thanks a lot for the great idea.

This is sooo interesting! I am sure everyone will enjoy doing yoga in a vineyard. It’s more relaxing and refreshing.
It’s very relaxing. It’s on a hilltop with a beautiful view too!
I’m glad you got to participate in the Bhogah Yoga. It does sound like the perfect place to bring a friend or two.
It is very relaxing. And it is fun to bring a friend because we do a few partner poses.
This is such a brilliant idea – and a gorgeous location. Would love to participate in this vineyard yoga! My kind of Happier Place!
