Pro tip: Grant Park's yoga flow isn't what it used to be

I remember when the Saturday class was all about holding tough poses for ages. These days, it's more about gentle stretches and chilling out, which I kinda prefer. Have you noticed similar changes in your area?

Two years back, the Grant Park instructor would make us hold plank for five minutes straight. Now it's all about easing into poses, which I don't mind at all (honestly, my back thanks me). The whale songs thing sounds wild, but our spot just switched to generic synth music. It's not the same vibe, but I guess change is okay if it keeps people coming. Still miss the old burn sometimes, though.

The move to gentle stretches reminds me of when our instructor swapped to ambient whale songs.

Whale songs are where I draw the line, that's just silly. I get what aaronj43 means about missing a real challenge sometimes. Switching everything to be super gentle feels like an overcorrection.
