Yoga, Wine, Horses, and More Music

If you're interested in yoga, there's an actual, honest-to-goodness yoga studio in downtown Macon. Whether you're a beginner or have considerable experience doing yoga, the instructors at Yoga Moga welcome you. They offer classes 7 days a week, including a 45-min "Yoga Quickie" class during the lunch hour. They even have classes for kids! Classes range from "Gentle Yoga" that focuses on relaxation to "Vinyasa Flow" that keeps you moving around more. You can try out a quickie class for $10, or buy a group of passes for a discount if you're dedicated.

Speaking of relaxation, at Wine Styles in Macon they have wine tastings every Tuesday from 6 to 8 pm. For $6 you can enjoy appetizers and sample several different wines. If you go on Thursday nights, you can try their new selections, but it costs $10. Wine Styles really focuses on providing a good selection of high-quality, affordable wines, so you're sure to discover a new favorite.

On Tuesday and Wednesday this week, the world-famous Lipizzaner Stallions are coming to the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry. This special breed of horses of European descent has been touring the world for 41 years. The horses and their trainers perform choreographed routines set to music, as well as stunts. I saw them as a child in Florida, and I still remember watching the riders jump from one horse to the other while the horses maintained a synchronized trot.

The Hummingbird Stage & Taproom is bringing local bands to the stage on Saturday from 12 noon to 2 am for the Big Bird Bash. The $10 cover lets you enjoy as many of the bands as you like and goes to a good cause. Bands will include Back City Woods, Chelsea Hughes, Xavii, Trendlenberg, Stoopgrass, The Royal Fireworks, The Josh Daniel Band, The Vineyard, Good Country People, Gringo Grande, and Lance Daniel. If you haven't heard of ANY of these guys, you've got to get out and experience some of Macon's great local music scene.
