In this episode of the Yin Yoga podcast, I discuss what to do when a student walks out.
As a seasoned teacher, I'll share personal experiences and address the emotional and logistical considerations for Yoga Teachers in these situations.
A student's decision to leave often has more to do with their individual needs than the instructor's abilities.
I also reflect on community feedback, the importance of class descriptions, and coping mechanisms for teachers.
This episode blends storytelling with practical advice, aiming to support Yoga Instructors in maintaining a grounded and understanding classroom environment.
