地道美语听力练习:练习瑜伽

Victor:Humph!

Rosaria:What's the matter?

Victor:I just got back from my first yoga class and I was sorely disappointed.

Rosaria:I've heard that yoga is very good low-impact exercise and helps with stress relief.

It's supposed to calm the mind and strengthen the body.

Victor:Yeah, right.

Rosaria:It sounds like you had a bad experience. Did you have a bad teacher?

Victor:The teacher was fine.

I learned about mantras and chakras, I learned breathing techniques, and I tried a few basic poses.

Rosaria:That all sounds right from my own experience, such as it is.

But, there are a lot of different types of yoga.

Maybe you need to try a different kind.

Victor:The problem wasn't the kind of yoga being practiced. It was the class.

Rosaria:Were the mats uncomfortable?

Victor:No.

Rosaria:Was it too cramped?

Victor:No.

Rosaria:Then what was the problem?

Victor:There was too much testosterone in the room.

Rosaria:You mean you were in a class with just men?

Victor:Yeah.

Rosaria:And that was a problem?

Victor:Do you think I would be taking a yoga class if I weren't trying to meet women?!
