Yoga Journal 2/15/18

This week, I attended a different yoga class than usual. I attended class at the trlc with a different teacher named Jason. I immediately noticed that the class size was significantly smaller than the class I usually take. I was one of about five people at the class. The small size allowed Jason to tailor the class to what each of us wanted, which made the practice more enjoyable. The class focused greatly on arm and shoulder strength through poses like downward dog and holding planks and side planks. I am realizing that I tend to favor strengthening poses over poses that don't require any body strength, so I enjoyed this class and its focus on strengthening. The atmosphere wasn’t also different than what I am used to because the trlc is quiet, and the teacher played soft music in the background, making the space much more calming than the lodge with its noisy kitchen.
