Yoga. :(

I don't remember if I've mentioned it here or not, but I really hate my Tuesday yoga teacher.  I'm seriously thinking of not going back to her in the future.

First of all, the class is listed as Hatha and what she's teaching is not Hatha.  She just picks a muscle group and works on it.  Which isn't terrible, but I'm doing Hatha for the breathing and meditation to chill me the fuck out now that the holidays and all of the stress they bring are upon us.

Today just sucked.  She tried to correct a position of mine, and wasn't really explaining herself well.  "Push your thigh back."  I felt I was.  So she tried moving my thigh which threw me off balance to the point where I would fall.  But she insisted that's where my thigh should go.  When I said that my thigh didn't go that way, she proceeded to poke my thigh several times to try to move it "back."  I gave a huff and said, "Would you stop that?"

She then asked if I was ticklish.

I really don't like her.  She does this with others in the class, too.  She even said, "What are you thinking?" to a guy in the last class who was obviously brand new to yoga when he couldn't get into the correct position.

She both needs to be clearer on her instructions and not be so dismissive when a student doesn't get her meaning on the first couple of tries.  Yoga is supposed to relax me, not make me want to punch someone!  Grrr.

rant, yoga
