The practice of yoga while listening to heavy music, called Metal Yoga, is not a new concept. More and more yoga studios, as well as festivals, offer it nowadays. It shouldn't surprise anybody anymore, since it seems yoga can be combined with anything and everything - there's even such a thing as beer yoga!
Berlin-based yoga instructor and metalhead Charlotte joined us to talk about how she challenges and delights her students with heavy music, how she handles her mental health, and bust the myth that depicts only women practicing it with some interesting yoga history.
