Years ago when I used to go to fitness first gym, I attended the yoga classes of a wednesday night. I had been to other yoga classes, and whilst I have always enjoyed doing yoga, the classes at the gym never really impressed me. But when I went to the Wednesday night classes, run by a man named Nigel, I was blown away. Never had I enjoyed a class so much! He made something that I already loved even more enjoyable! It is hard to pin-point exactly what it is about his class that made it so good, it was just what he brought to it that made it so superior to those taught by other instructors. He REALLY knew what he was doing, he would demonstrate but also walk around the class to personally help each individual, he had a calming voice without sounding fake or having that deliberate "yoga/meditation" tone to his voice, and the poses he does in his class are just excellent.
Well, one day the gym cancelled the Wednesday night yoga class. I dont know why, it certianly wasn't due to lack of numbers as the class was always full. Regardless of the reason, the class was cancelled and I was devistated! This was around 4 years ago. Last week while at the gym I happened to notice a sign that said "Monday night Yoga with Nigel" - well did my eyes light up!!! surely it must be the same Nigel!
So tonight off I went to the gym, full of excitement, and I wasn't disappointed! it WAS the same Nigel and the class was every bit as excellent as I remember it being! I came home very happy tonight! If only it was on more than once a week!
Oooh, Nigel sounds awesome! Is that at a FF gym? I do yoga and pilates at home but would like to go to a class every now and again to make sure I push myself ;P
