[quote=Anonymous]Now that yoga is so popular you can find yoga studios that are more about the exercise aspect and less about the spiritual. I like a combo of both but I agree some teachers never shut up. I go to down dog studios in Clarendon dc and Bethesda. The teachers are Baptiste  certified and focus more on the physical and less on the kumbaya.....they do start and end class with an “ohm” which I find relaxing and a nice release. Like a deep yawn. They call the poses in plain English for the most part. Not the Sanskrit. And they don’t show off and do poses themselves. They do adjust (pre covid) and will not adjust if you let them know. Personally I love to be adjusted. 
Anyway. I think they offer a good practice. And a great “workout”. I started there simply to get in shape. I have become more focused and “spiritual” as a result because subtle cues resonate with me. But they are definitely not preachy. Yoga is a meditation though. It always has been. But many forms of excwrsize  are a meditation. Which is a good thing. Think of how calm and centered you feel after a good run if you are a runner for example. [/quote]
