time: 6:30
instructor: Jason Cooper
style: "energetic yoga"

I did not like this yoga class. So Steevee sent out an email saying she'd be doing Yin yoga on Tuesdays and this guy Jason would be doing energetic yoga on Thursdays. I am not exagerating when I say I felt like I was in a geriatrics yoga class. With this class my practice has been developing into a more physical focused practice no doubt, but this class went by slower than even last weeks in-class instruction. Not only did the class go much slower and much less difficult, there were absolutely positions that the guy had modified in ways I guess he liked that were definitely not very good for the body. Without this class I probably wouldn't have questioned this guys teaching, but after having Laurie as an instructor in yoga and learning about different established forms and how people go off and make their own stuff up that gets a little wonky, I felt comfortable in identifying risky made-up positions. I definitely am not going back to this class. While most of it was calming, I did not feel comfortable in this instructors hands.
