I have just has a very negative experience with a Vinyasa Yoga Class.
It was my 3rd class and I was already feeling the hard pace of the prevoius classes. Just before we began the Instructor brought out straps. This alarmed me as I don’t think that straps are for everyone .I,ve tried them in the past and I feel that they push your body past it’s natural limits. I can’t push my body as I have had some major injuries over the years which have compromised my Hips and Pelvis.
I aksed her if I could take part in the session without the Straps and was told that I could’t . Maybe it was a missunderstanding as we are not the same notionality but I had to leave the class.
Maybe its just me but it seems that Yoga has become big business with big crowded classes and very little control. It has become a method of getting in shape just like the fitness craze.
I could go on but i’ll post this and look forward to a chat
Namaste
