Hi coly... interesting yoga class. The one I take is called yoga for athletes so it is probably a little less yogi than normal which is probably why I like it. Try it one more time and then maybe find a different one that might be a little more up tempo. We don't chant but the instructor gives a head rub at the end. I thought it was odd at first but look forward to it now.
Anyway, good for you in trying something new! What's up for the weekend?
