Sigh.
Sigh. I may have to find a new yoga class. Things that do not work for me include almost an entire class based on things done on your knees, not warming up while standing up, and poses held for interminably long times. Staying locked in a pose may be called restorative, but that is not the effect is has on my body. Rolling around on knees and or floor does not work as a warm up for me, either. It crunches joints and muscles and makes them sad. My knees do not like being abused for any amount of time, nevermind 30-60 minutes.
Also, this class has become intermittently very popular, so you can have a day with 4 people or a day with 20. Lately, it has erred on the side of 15-20. It used to average 8-12 with the occasional 15. If people weren't such space hogs, this would be much less of a problem. However, there are definitely entitled folks. This particular instructor isn't used to having very large classes, and she is very reluctant to tell people how or where to arrange their mat and stuff. She did make a big point out of telling people make sure their cell phones were off, though, and specifically told them to make sure the vibrate was off, too, because you can hear it. Yay!
I can't believe you have to tell people that they have to turn the vibrate off. I mean one regular has a special needs kid, so we know she leaves the vibrate on (and has had to rush off for emergencies, unfortunately). Nobody else who is a regular is on-call for anything, and none of the walk-ins has ever indicated any kind of on-call status, so it's super irritating to constantly hear "buzz buzz" for an hour and a half. P.S. If that was because they were on-call, they'd go answer the stupid phone when it buzzed, hence my absolute certainty that no one is on-call.
