Me too. It’s pretty clear that it’s a trend and a clique.

As a long time yoga practitioner, I’m horrified that this dude was *ever* a yoga intructor, and even more shocked by the apparent response of other teachers to OP’s very heartfelt and useful suggestions.

Pitiful.

As the post notes, he doesn’t teach there anymore. The studio did the right thing. They should be rewarded, not punished.

So that the public understands when they go in that door – they will be dealing with a malignant narcissist?

Maybe doing the majority of work with small baby, even?

Oh man, tanita, you are probably right! Which – I can’t even get started.

The guy’s writing puts him firmly in the troll camp. I am now amazed the camp is large enough to accommodate yoga instructors.

Geez, I know she meant well – and wanted to do the right thing – but I wish she hadn’t taken on his nasty mouth onto herself, even as the business owner. On a personal note, is not girlfriend also tired with small baby???? Maybe doing the majority of work with small baby, even? And yet. And yet.

This just reminds me to stay the hell out of yoga and all of those tiny-majority-culture-lady body practices and just put on my walking shoes.
