Yoga... Yes, Yoga.

Mrs Oct and I want to do some yoga.

I've done Bikram/hot yoga before but I don't like the heat and neither of us fancy yoga with religion baked into it.

Does anyone know of a good organisation that is religion free and at room temperature?

We're in West London- had a look on google and they all seem to be Bikram or heavy on the Godness.

Thanks people.

Yoga or Pilates is on my list of things to do too.  Meet Up have quite a few yoga groups on there but the weirdo quotient looks quite high.  In the end I just googled and found one I liked the look of in a community centre.  I've not started yet so I have no idea if I'll be into it.

I mentioned it to our drummer who responded with, "Are you going there to meet bitches?" 
I'm like , "No, I'm going cos I need to do something like this." 
"Yeah, but you're going to meet bitches too, right?"

Does he mean bitches in the street sense or the flaccid rejected, resentful and brooding Sutcliffe-esque way?

The singer in my last band's missus was a well respected yoga instructor in Willesden Green but they have just moved off to NZ.

they do yoga in the village hall here, no religion or nothing silly like that. Only downside is that it'd be a 400 mile round trip.

Ha, no. It is actually a really good gym and doesn't have the usual douchebags you get preening in front of the mirror like you do at Virgin or Fitness First. It is a no-nonsense sort of place, I much prefer it to the chains. I might be able to do yoga at my uni gym, need to check.

If they need a "before" picture, give me a shout.
