Gentle yoga
I went to my first gentle yoga class this past wensday night. The yoga instructor was a school teacher named Rebecca. She was very young, pretty and she seemed very excited to start the class. I put my mat down in the left back corner and an older lady said to me that I shouldn't try and hide because the yoga teacher would find me. I wasn't afraid of her helping me throughout the class, I just simply put my mat there. The lady next to me was very nice and she told me that she just recently started getting back into the yoga practice. A couple other students from my class were at the gentle yoga class. One girl brought her two roommates. The instructor had a different style of teaching than what I am used to with all levels yoga. She told stories throughout each pose and she had us doing a lot of breathwork. It was more of a relaxing course, than a hardcore asana practice. I only felt little sensation during a couple poses, in comparsion to the other classes I have taken where it is more difficult. I hardly sweat at all during this class, it was very calming. I thought it was very rude that the girls from my class kept laughing and adding things to the instructor's stories. This made me semi-mad because the other yoga classes I have taken it was more of a silent course. When this was happening it kindof through off my calming feeling. I don't think they take the class that seriously. I like just listening to the teacher and taking everything in that she says.
