[quote=Anonymous]I do not do yoga often, but I like to go occasionally. I am honest with the studio and instructors about my level of ability. I book appropriate classes. There will always be people in my class that are capable of advanced postures and it inspires me.
It does not endanger me or out the studio at risk to be one of the more novice students. I know my limits and I use common accommodations for traditional poses or ask for guidance if it’s a pose I am unfamiliar with. I find nearly all yoga teachers encourage novice students and celebrate small improvements or consistent practice.

As long as the class is an appropriate level and the teacher is responsible about helping less fit people respect their boundaries while gaining skills, I don’t see the issue. Truly advanced practitioners usually have options to take advanced classes where they don’t have to look at larger, clumsier bodies like mine. If you are advanced - but also want / need more instructor attention that you think the less skilled students are hogging - perhaps you are the one in the wrong level class. [/quote]
