METAL YOGA EN EL FESTIVAL WACKEN OPEN AIR 2022 metalyogabones
On a recent Wednesday in Bushwick, Brooklyn, Saskia Thode gave birth to the spawn of Satan in the back of a bar called the Cobra Club. So did the students attending her heavy-metal yoga class that day. Thode dubbed each of the imaginary babies Abigail, in honor of the fictional stillborn child that lent her name to King Diamond's 1987 concept album. Moments later, Thode was pelting around the Cobra Club's back room attempting to steal her students' imaginary Abigails as songs by Bolt Thrower and Waylander thundered through the speakers behind her. This was just one surreal sequence in a jam-packed, highly aerobic Metal Yoga Bones class that careened through yoga, tag, dancing - an approximation of an Irish jig at one point; cheerful, Broadway-meets-metal leg kicks at another - headbanging and a series of uproarious role-play sequences based on violent metal imagery.
"Now we're going to chop off some heads," Thode announced, before the class pretended to do just that. There was also a touch of mimed disembowelment - "Spill their guts!" Thode roared - and drinking the blood of one's slain enemies, which doubled as a rare moment to gasp for air in a breathless 75 minutes. Thode led the entire class with a death-metal growl, sometimes alternating with her "creepy witch voice."
"It's not like a yoga class where you are told what to do and which leg to use," Thode tells Revolver later, pulling at a cinnamon sugar donut as Cobra Club patrons swig beer and sing along to glum Eighties hits - Morrissey, the Cure - around her. "I don't really care what you do, as long as you have fun. The idea is to make yoga and exercising accessible for anyone who wants to try it without any judgement and also without any expectation. You just enjoy the moment and do what you can do. Some people have a drink before they come in, or we drink while we do it. There's no rules. It's freedom."

A veces me pregunto si el Wacken es un festival de metal u otra cosa.
