I attended a meditation class a long time ago, although it was billed as something else. That was a bloody waste of time. I paid for 4 sessions and attended 2.
I do understand the spiritual side of yoga. I don't really get into it but I do see the potential for it there. L, who I mentioned above does chant in sanskrit but she allows you to join in or not as you choose and she repeats the same thing in English after saying it in Sanskrit. Possible your instructor lost hir notes and was too embarrassed to admit it.
I've tried Pilates but the breathing is backwards. I'm used to inhaling/exhaling when Pilates wants you to do the reverse.
I think Christianity started out good but lost its way in about the 2nd -3rd century. Anything after that period is total bs created to manipulate people into being nice little sheep and follow the establishment, whatever that establishment was at the time. Actually anything that misogynist jerk "Paul" had his hand in can go straight into the toilet along with the manipulations of the 'church'.

Whoops my bias is showing.
