Steph: Hey, Derek, have you ever tried yoga?

Derek: Ah, yes. I tried yoga one time. Have you?

Steph: Yeah. I’ve been doing a lot of it lately. It’s a really good form of exercise.

Derek: And I suppose it keeps you pretty flexible, doesn’t it?

Steph: It keeps you pretty flexible and it actually works out your muscles really well.

Derek: Yeah. I seem to remember that. It was a while ago but I do remember being pretty tired.

Steph: Yeah. Was it hard for you?

Derek: It was at first, but by the end of the school term where I took it, it was a little more comfortable.

Steph: That’s cool. That’s awesome. Yeah. I love my class. It’s fun.

Derek: Very good.

Discussion

Yoga is getting more and more popular in America. Most people either do it regularly or have tried it at some point.
I started doing it about 4 months ago and it helps with becoming more flexible, gaining muscle, and helping with balance.
Have you ever tried yoga? Do you know anything about it?

YOGA! Never try it! I have't got the chance to meet the qualified person to teach me how to practise it.

However i think that without the qualified supervision, an experienced trainer, it's quite dangerous to start doing it, because it could harm you.

Yoga? Is that a slang for a custardlike food with a tart flavor, prepared from milk curdled by bacteria, especially Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, and often sweetened or flavored with fruit?...lol
