More thoughts...

The more I think about it...the more I feel I should have left class. I am torn though, and will definitely talk to Marlysa and Bill about this.

On the one hand, it was rude and childish and very foolish to act like I did. When I said I threw a block, it wasnt across the room or at anyone, it was just to the side of me, in a huff, like a bratty 2 yr old.It still made noise though, as did my accompanying sigh of frustration, as well as when I couldnt do the Superman pose and I slapped my hands on the floor. I wanted to leave, but something kept saying "No, stay, keep at it, dont let the negativity win" So, I did, and got through something, and tried something new, and stepped outside my comfort zone.

So...how does one balance the help yoga gives her working through things emotionally and getting to a better place mentally with being conscientious of others...basically not putting my stuff onto others...doing no harm...ahimsa.

I cant afford private yoga classes, but I do realize that what I did last night wasnt good. Could ultimately get me kicked out of a yoga class and studio.

We hear ya. Now, how about forgiving yourself? When you go back and make your peace with the teachers, you'll have done something very brave, and have yet another reason to feel good about you.

It isn't all forward steps, and the advances would be worth less without some slips to show you what they cost. (hugs) Unc
