Lululemon re-engineered the crotch fabric of its popular Luon pants, thank Buddha. Now those wearing them at this weekend’s Kansas City Yoga Festival have one less issue at the Guild (1621 Locust). Co-organizer Leah Morgan says the two days of lectures and movement are for all metro-area yogis, regardless of skill level. “We always encourage each person to honor their body and not try to ‘keep up’ or compete with others,” Morgan says. The festival starts at 8 a.m. and features four workshops (Bodymind: Your yoga practice as a means of whole self transformation sounds intriguing) with plenty of break time. “It’s not like marathon yoga,” Morgan explains. Tickets cost $45 for individual workshops or $160 for the weekend. See kansascityyogafestival.com.

EVENTS
DAD BEER
Reconnect with your pop via hops today when Jennifer Helber and her DIY beermaking business, Grain to Glass, take over the Farm to Table Kitchen (21 East Third Street) for a Homebrewing for Beginners course. “I’ve changed the class so that it is all-inclusive in one session, and both brewing and bottling are taught,” Helber says. Everyone takes home bottled beers from a previously fermented batch, so what’s brewed may or may not be the same as what’s bottled that day. Helber plans to brew Session IPA. Educate yourself on the process from 1 to 4 p.m. Tickets cost $50 and include a $10 discount on equipment purchases from Grain to Glass; see brownpapertickets.com and search “Homebrewing for Beginners.”
