Red Diamond Yoga Washington, Los Angeles CA

The studio is clean and parking is relatively easy. I took a yin class last night after work to try to unwind.

Unfortunately, the instructor Catie I believe her name was, talked throughout the entire class. I mean this literally, I don’t think there was pause or silence for more than 5 minutes total in a 60 minute class.

While a few insights or yogic teachings sprinkled into a class at the right time can be interesting, I found myself genuinely surprised and challenged by how much this teacher seemed to need to hear herself talk and regurgitate all sorts of ramblings and woo woo ideology. At one point she was taking about how we should buy socks for our friends, and sleep more on our left side if we felt we wanted to feel more feminine, there were lists she was reciting like remember these 5 things, do good, be happy, dance, yadda yadda.

It is my understanding that yoga is supposed to help you get out of your mind and into your body, unfortunately when someone is continually talking this becomes difficult.

In short, definitely not my cup of tea, and just fair warning for others who might want something more relaxing and quiet.
