My Ethnographic Report On A Yoga/Mediation Class

A few tentative evaluations and interpretations I can draw from my write-up are the location I attended is a very peaceful and comforting scenery. I can also evaluate that in this yoga/meditation class every student attending was observing the class in their own way. One was following the directions exactly as the instructor said, another was interpreting all the poses in their own way, and another was trying to listen to the instructor as she spoke or sang in a very calming voice, and as for me, I was observing everything.

I know how passionate they are about yoga and mediation. However, I don’t know where they came from, what their names are, or what they’re really feeling inside.

If I were to continue to do ethnography I would try a much more religious meditation, perhaps a Christian yoga or mediation. I would do this just to get a better insight on the combination of Christian religious and
