What a great idea to remind your students not to compete with themselves or other students. That's given me the idea to have a quiet word in the ear of my instructor prior to the class, asking her to remind us of the same. Hopefully, my friend will pick up on that.

She still gets frustrated at me sometimes but I turn my "evil eye" on her and we end up grinning at each other! Still, the tension that I sometimes feel emanating from her makes it quite hard to focus on the calming effects of yoga. Next time, I'm on my own... Thanks! Francesca Hi Allistair,

Next time, I’m on my own…

I suspect you handled that far more gracefully than I would have. It sounds like your friend has missed one of the fundamental aspects of yoga practice... Good on ya for agreeing to try a second class. I hope it doesn't end up being one of those "fool me twice" sorts of situations though. Good luck! Whew!
