As usual I raced into yoga class yesterday just as it was starting, with everyone lying on their backs and doing a little deep breathing and relaxing. It wasn’t until I’d lain down and got comfortable that I noticed a rather drastic change in the usual music. I thought to myself … could this really be Unchained Melody being played on pan pipes? It was. And it got worse. Next up was Feelings and I almost sat up and asked our instructor Ana if this was some sort of joke or what. By the time the third song started we were well into the “sun greeting” and as a group we all groaned. I mean, it was ABBA fer crying out loud. On pan pipes! At which point Ana fessed up that she’d left her music at home and had borrowed a couple of  “easy listening” CDs from the gym. And as the pan pipes crescendoed into the chorus of Chiquitita  (aiiyayaiiyaiiii) we all burst out laughing and sniggered our way through the rest of the our first routine.

After which Ana put on the second CD, which was more typical easy listening stuff … Pachelbel’s Canon, Enya, etc.

But for awhile it had been like doing yoga in the world’s largest elevator. 🙂
