[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I second the CorePower suggestion. It is a sanitized, exercise focused version of yoga. It is not yoga in the traditional “woo woo” sense and is much more focused on the workout and sweat factor. [/quote]

Thanks this sounds good. I just read about what CorePower is and it sounds right on: more emphasis on physical and less on "spiritual". Perfect.

I do think it is strange that these mainstream run of the mill neighborhood yoga studios let their instructors freestyle preach whatever they yoga-esque material they want. It's really weird, actually. I have a few classes left on my punch card at this studio and they are so expensive so I will finish it off... At the end of the class I went to this morning the instructor said we should all chant om together because the volume of that collective sound would burn up the kernels of unhappiness in all of us" etc etc. That wasn't even nearly the looniest thing she said.

Okay... maybe I am just getting old and grumpy now. It just seems flat out ridiculous. And yes I have been doing (ok "practicing"  :roll: ) yoga for many years. The commercialization of these ancient practises just makes the activity into a ridiculous caricature of itself. Like that funny guy with long reddish hair who makes silly fake yoga videos.
