Day 6 of #PathToAhimsa
Journal Prompt: Do you get annoyed when the yoga teacher adjusts you in class? .
I always practice with @alo.moves so—
I have only taken 3 yoga classes in person from another teacher.
I only got annoyed at one of these teachers adjustments. This woman was about 60 years old, maybe older, and she refused to listen to any of the student’s injuries. She wouldn’t continue class until everyone was in the same exact position, creating a very uncomfortable and hostile environment for the students.
I was practicing my patience skills during this class… she moved me into a position that seriously triggered sharp pains in my injury, and I told her it wasn’t best for me to be there due to my compression fracture, and she then told me, “I know you’re young, but you’re not going to take the spotlight from me in my class.” Whatever that even means?
I wasn’t trying to, lady.
As a yoga teacher, I feel it’s SO incredibly important to create a safe space for every single student in the room. .
