i have been doing yoga off and on for a few years now.... and my favorite studio does have a spiritual side to it (it is an Anusara Yoga Studio that now also does the yoga of bliss......which is based on the Yoga Sutras) i highly reccommend this studio "Lake Center Yoga" to anyone in the Orlando Florida area.. it is in Longwood....
but the YMCA of course stayed away from the spiritual aspects
and my second favorite studio does not really get into the spiritual side of things either.. i mean they have OM symbols and say Namaste...but that is about it..... it is definitely more focused on the physical workout.... the main instructor and owner, Tymi, has studied with many great yogis of our time...... and i believe she is a very spiritual person but chooses not to share that with the class.... but i have only been to her mostly senior classes..... senior citizens, i mean.....
i am 39....
