    Hi icart,
    I have not been able to meet one on one yet with my favorite instructor.
    I have been going to class every other day and have had a variety of instructors. So far it seems to be a good mix. There are still the hard core ones but i have also had a few that are more the traditional yoga personailty. I am getting much better at filtering out the comments that annoy me. I have even started to improve on many of the poses. I can now touch my forhead when doing Standing Separate Leg Stretching pose. woo- hoo. The balancing poses are still challenging for me. I am slightly bow legged so my locked knee is always a little bent. This makes me feel off balanced. Does anyone else have this issue?

    I really appreciate all the feedback on my post. I am scheduling a one on one with the instructor that I really like at the new studio and I am going to discuss my thoughts with her.The “boot camp” style is not the preferred method in my opinion. Maybe it wouldn’t bother me so much if I didn’t have something to compare it with. The studio I started with was so completely opposite in their approach that I am still adjusting to this new style. Giving up on it is not an option because I have fallen in love with the practice.:-) I do not mind some pushing but instructors that do not respect each student as an individual really get to me. I am paying a good amount of money for this experience and have expectations for how I feel when I leave each class. For the first three weeks I was on a natural high because of the experience I was having. Now I am almost pissed off at the end of class because of the negative energy swirling around. I am going to do my best to stay true to what I am feeling, do the postures to the best of my ability and block out any negative vibes that may try to creep into my practice. I am going today and know that my favorite instructor will be teaching, I am very excited to go.:lol: Namaste
