I tried it for 2-3 times a week but it never created the same sense of joy, peace, and freedom that I've found with other styles. I did grow to appreciate the stretchiness and it also helped to strengthen my hip flexors which was a benefit. I even came to not mind the sweat so much. Not sure why it didn't call to my spirit--but maybe you will enjoy it more. I do think it is worth experiencing. Hey Barrett–

It's heavenly! M - There's such a lack of good terminology, I guess. I call my classes vinyasa, and they are, but they are infused with some Forrest, Iyengar, Kripalu, and Astanga influences. Lately, I say, "It's just yoga." That's my best description! Sababas – I’ll teach you some restorative poses soon, especially with a bolster. It’s heavenly!

What type of yoga do you teach at the Broad classes?

And maybe try using some props more, like lying over a bolster (http://www.fivepointsyoga.com/blog/?p=528). These aren’t anything new, but I’d like to do yoga more regularly.
