US EditionAsking Eric: Yoga Teacher’s Personal Jabs Go Too Far
The student cited personal reasons including grief over their dog and feeling targeted by the teacher, prompting them to leave the small Saturday yoga class.
- Several weeks ago, the yoga student informed the instructor and classmates she would no longer attend Saturday yoga classes in the instructor’s yard.
- Amid personal strain, the student’s 17-year-old dog has cancer, and the instructor, a woman in her 50s, apparently doesn’t like `the cut of my jib`.
- The instructor singled out the student, saying she looked like a Lilly Pulitzer model and likening her to a ’70s yoga mom, which is considered poor form.
- Left without recourse, the student must seek a new yoga environment and social connections, as there’s no way to escalate concerns in the yard class.
- To reduce anxiety, the student could reach out first and set boundaries by telling the instructor remarks about appearance aren’t appropriate.
