Hmm, Joni, sounds like you got a receptionist or someone who wasn't really familiar with different yoga styles! Restorative classes can be really yummy because the instructor tends to take a lot of care to make sure you are tucked in and comfortable.

My first yin yoga class "cured" for lack of a better word a chronic groin muscle pain I had had from a hiking injury years earlier. That's not why I tried the class, but the next morning I woke up without the pain for the first time in four years. It hasn't come back. I like it for the back and hip stretches.
I have to be very careful with it because there are a few poses that aggravate my back. Bananasana is one, and a seated forward bend with a twist. |

kittybug, when I did my yoga teacher training back in 2015, I actually felt more knowledgeable about yoga in general than many of my fellow students, in part due to learning so much on VF over the years! I also think that using videos has been very helpful in my own progression as a teacher; most of us are exposed to MANY more different types of teachers/styles in videos than we ever could be in live classes.
