There are no locks on the classroom doors and the classes are included in the membership. <br /><br />I’m actually glad that I’m less annoyed with latecomers because there’s pretty much nothing I can do about it anyway. I’ve also tried this approach with people who cut me off in traffic etc. In the past, I’ve gotten pretty upset and the offending driver is long gone and I’m still tussling with anger.<br /><br />I’m a pretty low-key person, for the most part, but when I get angry, it’s ugly and I feel like the Hulk and it takes me forever to come off that anger high and, in the end, I feel like I’m doing more harm to myself.<br /><br />On another note, when I practiced hot yoga at a studio, it was a completely different story. Per the rules, most people arrived 10 to 15 minutes before class and if you came when class was scheduled to start, you would find the door to the facility locked…<br /><br />I've only been to one other bona fide yoga studio and they don't turn latecomers away either. On the other side of annoyance, I do find the calm of yoga teachers reassuring because it helps me to calm down and go with the flow too...<br /><br /><br />@Mary,<br /><br />Thanks. I like the concept of asteya.<br /><br /><br /><br />@Kini,<br /><br /><br />Touché...'Dreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445124443770488433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375029325235067748.post-88439792101039879182012-07-23T00:10:16.340-05:002012-07-23T00:10:16.340-05:00The person who trucks on into class late might jus...The person who trucks on into class late might just be the one who needs yoga the most. It's good to cultivate the practice of not judging others. Who knows what kind of day those folks may have had or when we might need them to be understanding of us. <br /><br />You are probably right Mich, I'm sure those instructors teach yoga for the money.Kinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580164702361956355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375029325235067748.post-5190581344824818832012-07-22T22:27:20.469-05:002012-07-22T22:27:20.469-05:00Lovely post.

There is also the hope that once someone practices yoga for awhile, they learn about the 8 limbs of yoga and asteya-not stealing other people's time or peace by coming in late. Having said that, I think everyone's run late once. It just hopefully doesn't become a habit.Mary Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356423143686066523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375029325235067748.post-48977031208866338172012-07-22T20:39:44.054-05:002012-07-22T20:39:44.054-05:00Allowing people to come late to yoga class (or any...Allowing people to come late to yoga class (or any class) seems extremely inconsiderate. As for it being <i>"a good lesson in detachment"</i>, I'm skeptical. Perhaps if people stopped paying for classes it would be a good lesson in non-materialism for the instructor...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
