Week 1

I've been practicing yoga for about two months now after a friend suggested that I try it.  My goal was to go in with an open mind and see what the hype was about.  At the very least it would be a good workout and I would meet new people while trying something new.

The studio I have been going to is called Grow Yoga.  Grow Yoga has a very friendly and family oriented atmosphere. I try to go everyday.  This semester my goal is to try different yoga studios, namely yoga 9 and the yoga on Stockton's campus.

Yesterday, September 15th, I attended a class at Grow Yoga called "Steve's Class: A Creative Vinyasa".  Since the class was at 5:45pm I expected there to be more people attending from after work.  There are sometimes upwards of 30 people in class but this week there were only about 8 or 9.
Unlike many other classes I've taken at Grow, the class was not heated. I was hoping that it would be heated as this is my favorite part.  I like sweating during class and usually feel revived afterwards so this aspect was disappointing.  However, despite not being heated I found the class to be enjoyable.  Unlike the Power Yoga classes I've taken which were higher energy, this class was a bit more low-key and slow paced which was a nice change. Like all other classes, it ended with an "Ohm" and Namaste.  

I really liked soothing Steve's inflection in his voice.
