TEACHERS' TALES
Ditch the diet language
Diet language in yoga classes? It’s a no from me.
By Paula Hines
“Let’s work off those mince pies” is not something I generally expect to hear in a yoga class — but that’s exactly where I heard a yoga teacher utter those words to the class in early January.
Granted this was a while ago, but it did stay with me. I hadn’t come to class to work off mince pies or anything else. Maybe this was a jokey, throwaway comment from the teacher, but it did not sit well with me.
