We're heading back to The Oak Room at Nelson's Green Brier Distillery for the first Yoga & Whiskey of the year. We'll ease our way out of Winter hibernation with yoga followed by a tour and delicious whiskey tasting. Class will be held right inside The Oak Room facing barrels full of Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey. Afterward, Charlie Nelson, co-owner of the distillery, will tour us through the production floor while sharing his story of the history and founding of Nelson's Green Brier Distillery, ending in the Tasting Room, where we'll sample their wonderful Tennessee Whiskey and flagship Belle Meade Bourbon.

Doors will open at 6pm and class begins at 6:30. The tour + tasting will take place from 7:30-8:30.

What is Yoga & Whiskey?

The creators of Yoga On The Field bring you a series of celebrations for yogis and whiskey-lovers, and most especially, those who are both. Attendees start with a yoga class led by distinguished local instructors right inside the host distillery. Afterward, guests tour the distillery, learn about its history and processes, and end with a tasting.
