For us, we practice in a gym that's attached to a dance studio with a pair of doors separating the two. There were a couple weeks last year where there was a yoga class in the dance studio so we all kept wondering to ourselves what was running through their minds as we did uchikomi, kirikaeshi, etc. We really started to wonder after our dojo mentor, who was leading practice, got a tad fed up with a bunch of newbies who had really crappy kiai. To fix this, he had everybody work on footwork and holding our kiai for as long and as loud as we could as we moved across the floor. I got the distinct feeling that those yoga people were a little disturbed because as we were leaving practice, some of them were giving us confused looks
