Man, did I hate that yoga class. I lasted about 10 minutes, and 2 of that was spent in mat placement and introductions.
Part of it is that I didn't know any of the moves, so rather than being able to focus on breathing and centering and whatnot, I had to keep looking at the instructor every time there was a new move. It kind of took me out of the moment, you know? That, and I'm not terribly into the more new-agey aspects of yoga in the first place. Maybe I'm just not spiritual enough to get it, but I had a hard time taking it seriously. I just felt silly and clumsy the whole time.
I don't feel like I've given it enough of a chance to be able to say that yoga is definitely not my thing, but I do know that I won't be going to another class until I've had a chance to get a little bit familiar with the terms and movements involved.
