[Sportsandrec] yoga class

[Ashley Bramlett]

Rania,
How is yoga coming?  I'm surprised that individual is doing a paper on 
teaching you yoga.  After all teaching yoga to you is not much different 
than teaching someone else.  You just learn more hands on.

>> 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?
