[quote=Anonymous]I stopped doing yoga in person partly for this reason. Some of the instructors aren't just annoying -- they are manipulative and abusive. This is not limited to yoga (you find this behavior in a lot of exercise communities) but I think it's worse in yoga because some instructors use the pseudo-spirituality element to create little cults of personality and it sucks.

After being uncomfortably hit on by three instructors in a row (men and women) I switched to working out at home. I use Barre 3 because I like that in addition to their "flow" classes (which are just yoga without all the BS) they have strength and cardio as well. I've also taken classes in person there but the studios don't have as many of the flow classes as I'd like so I use the app at home as well. It's kind of corporate but that's actually good IMO -- less opportunity for teachers to get weird or creepy. I've only had professional, pleasant instructors there.

I've also experience weird and creepy instructors in the aerial community (aerial silks, trapeze, etc.) and at gyms (regular and CrossFit). It's a major problem with the fitness industry.[/quote]
