[Sportsandrec] yoga class

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi Carly,
I don't believe Ashtanga yoga is offered at the places I'm looking at.  So 
my experience will be a bit different than yours.  They have hatha yoga and 
kundalini yoga.
I don't mind the instructor touching me either.
Yoga instructors tend to be more verbal wich is in our favor.
I'm glad it worked out.  How long have you taken yoga?

Ashley
