Instead of teaching her regular Pints & Poses session at Circle Brewing Co. Sunday, [Isabel Beltran](https://www.instagram.com/isabelb12om/ "undefined") decided to add some wizarding world flair into the day-before-Halloween workout, according to [_Cosmopolitan_](http://www.cosmopolitan.com/health-fitness/a8061240/harry-potter-yoga/ "undefined"). With the help of her sister, Ximena Larkin, Beltran ran a class in which every participant not only received a wand — which was incorporated into several of the poses —but was treated to a read-aloud of a _Deathly Hallows_ passage. The two sisters also had some post-vinyasa flow surprises in store for the yogis — who were referred to as Dumbledore’s Army — including sorting hat cookies, a potion station and a Mandrake garden. See photos of the magical session below.
