I
have
mixed
feelings
about
this
studio.
On
one
hand,
the
room
is
really
hot,
and
they
do
have
some
really
amazing
teachers
(I
had
an
amazing
practice
with
Sharon
-
she
has
such
a
warm
and
nurturing
energy).
My
practice
with
her
was
incredible
-
a
judgemental
free
zone.
On
the
other
hand,
my
first
practice
at
the
studio
was
with
Danny
and
I
didn’t
have
a
great
experience.
It
was
a
Sunday
morning
and
I
was
going
through
something
emotionally.
I
just
wanted
a
space
to
practice
and
to
be
left
alone.
We
all
have
those
days,
don’t
we?
Normally
when
I
practice,
I
wear
my
Apple
Watch
and
use
the
workout
app
to
track
my
heart
rate
(those
with
Apple
Watches
know
what
I’m
talking
about).
About
1/4
through
the
practice,
the
gentlemen
next
to
me,
his
Apple
Watch
went
off
“exercise
ring
closed”.
And
that’s
when
Danny
came
to
me
and
asked
me
to
put
my
watch
in
airplane
mode..
the
thing
is,
it
was..
and
it
wasn’t
my
watch
that
went
off.
Another
15
minute
passed
and
he
comes
by
to
me
as
I’m
in
Utkatasana,
he
asks
me
what
I’m
tracking
on
my
watch,
and
I
said,
I’m
just
tracking
my
heart
rate
-
kind
of
hard
to
explain
in
the
middle
of
a
pose.
.
Again,
I
was
going
through
something
emotionally
and
at
this
point,
I
was
confused
why
Danny
came
up
to
me
again…
I
continued
to
practice
and
check
my
watch
occasionally..
again
the
workout
app
>
yoga.
Then,
at
the
end
of
practice,
Danny
felt
the
need
to
speak
to
me
again,
about
how
he
didn’t
understand
what
I
was
doing.
He
then
proceeded
to
tell
me
that
it
was
distracting
and
etc
etc…
If
you
don’t
want
your
students
using
their
Apple
Watches
to
track
their
breathing
or
the
time
that
is
passing,
then
it
should
be
clear
before
class
begins
->
studio
expectations.
I
don’t
need
to
be
approached
3
times
about
an
“issue”.
Just
be
clear
and
communicate.
Needless
to
say
after
my
2
week
trial
passes,
I
won’t
be
coming
back.
As
a
yoga
teacher
myself,
I
understand
that
we
can
all
have
bad
days.
Maybe
I
caught
Danny
on
a
bad
day,
who
knows
but
it
did
feel
like
he
was
making
some
assumptions
about
my
intentions
in
practice.
