The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta will begin offering students a new way to experience Fish Pose. Starting Sunday, the world's largest aquarium will host yoga classes throughout the building—including in front of the whale shark, grouper, and string ray tanks—reports the Atlanta-Journal Constitution

Would you pay $20-$35 a class to do yoga in the presence of marine life?

I was there for the inauguration!
it was so beautiful & magical...doing yoga with beluga whales.
It was like we were doing a dance; it was etheral.

Oh how fabulous! what an incredible setting, what a wonderful idea.

Yes, I would pay that price to experience yoga in that setting.

Thank you for sharing the virtual experience, while I figure out how to get myself to Georgia.

Okay, I'll be different.
While it sounds like a marvelous idea, I think $25-$30 is really quite expensive.

I would do it one time. Just for the experience. I love watching marine life and I think doing yoga while having it in the back ground is an added bonus. i would only do it once because i do think the price tag is a bit much!

This is disgusting. How can you sit in tranquility in a space where beautiful sea creatures are being kept in captivity. This is the antithesis of the true essence of meditation and yoga.
