[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not op, but a few follow up questions: is down dog power yoga?  It's the only studio in Georgetown so i didn't really look at other types.  Is there a good yoga DVD I can use while traveling?  
Personally I prefer the teachers other than Colin, just because he is so philosophical.  But I think they are all good and I like that they mix up the instructors so it's a little different every time.[/quote]

Yes, it is power yoga.  You don't like Colin??  I guess that's what makes the world go round and keeps class space available, and sometimes I don't take much from what he says, but when he hits it, he really hits it.  "All that was done was all that needed to be done." Plus, isn't he handsome to look at????  Yum.

I wore my Polar HR monitor to Down Dog a few times, and each time my HR was at 85% of it's max or more.  I burned 400 calories more  in each class and I am not overweight, so that's a very good burn.

What teachers do you like?

Yoga DVDs:  I've tried a few and can't say I LOVE any of them.  Probably the best one I have found is Bob Harper's Yoga For The Warrior.

I don't like Patty's classes.  She has too much of a militant edge to her for my taste.  Don't care for Alison.  I like Kelly.  Preston is not at Georgetown often, but he will slay you just by looking at you.  WOW.[/quote]

This is fun.  I'm a different PP who also goes to DDY.  I love Colin and his "All that was done was all that needed to be done" line.  I also think he is cute.  Totally agree re: Allison - she is the most "out there" from my perspective.  Kelly is good - although now she talks like Patty.  Preston is sooooo tough and makes me want to work so much harder.  I go back and forth between the Bethesda and Georgetown studios.  I like Bethesda better but G-town is closer to my office, but their 6pm classes make me so stressed out it almost defeats the benefits of the yoga practice.

I go back and forth on Patty.  I did the Commit to It program this winter and when I was going through it, I really liked her.  I think it is hard to attend her classes in the summer when she is telling you not to drink water-  like, ok, what am I supposed to do?

I have to say, the Commit to It program changed my arms/back.  I lost 8 pounds in 6 weeks (and I'm in pretty good shape!).  I barely supplemented with any other form of cardio - just yoga for 40 days.  It was amazing. [/quote]
