Every single class she just has us repeat the same positions over and over again. It's like, it starts with downward dog, and then you put one leg up, and then you put the other leg up, and then you go into a lunge thingy, and then warrior, and then balance on one foot... etc etc. And you do that over and over again like 6 times lol. While staying in each position for like 20 seconds or something. And then she has us lay on the mat and meditate for the last 5 minutes while some weird mystic music plays in the background, in which time i just try not to giggle. I heard there's some yoga that is much more energetic, and I'm sure I'd like that a lot better. I keep hoping they get a new instructor.
Ah, the sun salutations. Yeah, they're pretty basic. They are the simple stretches and balances that prepare you for the rest of the good stuff. If you like to dance, I know of a lady who developed something she calls yogance which combines those movements with a more creative flow. There's also power yoga, which will make you sweat way too much to bore you. I'm going to be doing an aerial yoga class soon. I'll let you know how it is.
