The 45 minute yoga class at work was very good. It was fun walking over there to the other building with the ladies in my department. The yoga people provided mats, so I didn't have to have my own. The workout itself was at a low intensity. There was a lot of stretching, some balance work, some strengthening work (mainly the core body), and some breathing/relaxation work. We did quite a few poses, and there was a natural progression to the class.
By the end of the workout, I was sweating a little bit, but not too much to be uncomfortable for the rest of the work day (especially after changing back to my work clothes). The class was designed so that the poses could be modified to be harder or easier, depending on a person's level of strength/flexibility/balance. The very end of the class was about 4-5 minutes of relaxation and deep breathing while stretching out the entire body (elongated, laying on the floor). It was the perfect cool-down, and I felt like I could have fallen asleep if I would have allowed myself to do so.
There were about 20 or so people taking the class, all women. It was an excellent break for mid-day, and I'm very glad that I signed up for the class.

Sounds like you had a great time!! Once I get the weight down a bit, I might start looking into some yoga just to get myself more limber and flexible..
