Rec Room Reopens With Memphis’s 1st Immersive Yoga Studio The much beloved barcade, now featuring a totally new yoga concept called Kokoon, resumes operation on Saturday, June 5 with a neighborhood festival. In addition to immersive yoga classes from Kokoon, the grand opening event will also feature a Hampline Brewing tap-takeover, Civil Axe throwing, and goods from Metro Hemp Supply. Expect live music, food trucks, and family activities. This is the perfect event to experience the Hampline bike path. You can ride your bikes to the festival and use it as a jumping off spot to explore the rest of the Hampline and the Broad Avenue Arts District. Rec Room opened over six years ago as an experiment in what to do with some vintage arcade games and huge white walls. Projection screens for video games, sports, and other digital entertainment were created and the venue was born. Over the years the bar added Civil Axe Throwing and biweekly live wrestling events with 901 Wrestling. Meanwhile in the Binghampton neighborhood, the Hampline bike path between Shelby Farms and Overton Park was completed, and Hampline Brewing opened its doors, continuing new development along the Broad Avenue corridor. Beginning June 5, customers will again be able to enjoy the nostalgia of vintage pinball, arcade, and other games while being introduced to some totally new experiences:
• A brand new, custom-designed, immersive hot yoga studio, operated by Kokoon Immersive Yoga, which will include a 360 sensory experience including video, audio, and aroma
• A newly expanded outdoor deck and massive green space overlooking the Hampline bike path
• Upgraded venue rest area and locker rooms/showers for yoga attendees
• Revamped food menu available from morning through evening hours
• R eimagined bar menu to include the original offerings plus curated non-alcoholic cocktails and a selection of coldpressed juices, smoothies, coffees, teas, and kombucha
