Last December a California man took Luke's Friday 4:30 class at the Yoga Workshop in Boulder, he is now suing the studio as reported by the Daily Camera, for inappropiate adjustment which resulted in him having to have an operation.
The subject touches me closely because I have had two operations and both meniscuses removed. So, from the point of view of the student, I don't know about this guy Robert,but I do know that when my knees hurt I do not let anyone even near me.
As per the teachers, well, I happen to think that Richard Freeman is probably the best yoga teacher in the country, but when it comes to assistants, I am not sure. I have experienced being pushed too hard, for the sake of the assistant's ego many times. Then again, I guess it is for my ego's purposes as well, sometimes I don't say much because even I wonder if I can go further, get there faster. I guess I, too, get caught in the rush.
How to strike a middle balance? I believe that signing a waiver for all students (especially out of towners) may be the new vogue for studios. As per students, like me, maybe more meditation on the middle path is in order.
