Assists and Adjustments in Yoga

This is so interesting, hearing the experience you had which made you back away from your practise (whether this was mentally or physically or both, I don't know), but I had a similar experience where I was pushed too far into a stretch which caused pain and a lot of panic in me. It has taken me 10 years to go back. The bes choice I've made is to go to an absolute beginner's class to get back into practise - there is 0 ego in the room - quite a unique experience! E x

Right! I hate to hear you had that experience, unfortunately its becoming more and more common. Im glad to hear that you stepped back on the mat! Where is all the ego coming from with yoga teachers, and seriously who do they think they are to touch and force a student in a class.

Sad that it's common- I thought that I'd just sadly landed with a rare poor teacher with an ego the size of Jupiter ;) So glad to be back at it, but being older myself, I'm more equipped to be strong about what I do and don't want in terms of touch and guidance. E x
