Looking for yoga desperately

Yeah, looking back at the list of things I anticipating missing the most yoga was up there and i was right! Boy do I miss Brian's yogic motion (hey brian if you read me -you've got yourself a place to stay if you want to visit france!) I've been scouring the yoga options around here and it's proving challenging. It seems that french have a different conception of yoga, reserved to older women and closer to meditation and relaxation that physical exhausion and the mental relaxation that naturally comes out of it. My first attempt was in a small village nearby, I was getting excited given how close and convenient it was. I chit chatted with the other women before class and already one woman was commenting how she was hoping the teacher wasn't going to start the course with sun salutations... hum, I though, "pas gagne".... No, not yoga to me, relaxation at best. The teacher seemed suprised I wasn't thrilled like all the other women. Next i tried a class in the city of Limoges. Better I must say, in the right direction but nothing amazing. But the teacher was nice and advised me to try all the classes offered in the area which is a good idea! I know i'm bound to be dissapointed but I'll give it a good try. In the meantime I religiously practice at home with my tapes, i started on the second one and i'm suffering - but i like it!
