Who knew “Your energy is just so bad” can be used as an insult in an argument – Yoga Teacher Training Week 4

And of all places I heard it used it was at yoga teacher training school. I.e. at a place where most people there are really into yoga and so you would have thought are also really into the teachings of yoga, such as being calm and having non-violent thoughts towards each other.

Not the case at all. There were full on arguments across the middle of class on more than one occasion.

I have not been in as bitchy an environment since I went to all girls boarding school. It was actually quite incredible (and really entertaining to watch if you didn’t get involved in the drama).

There were 20 of us and we all lived in one place for 4 weeks, all going to the same classes everyday day so it is only natural there would be some fall outs, I just never expected them to be so public.

Maybe it’s because I’m English, and so have that whole reserved British thing, but in any location I would find it shocking for people to shout at each other across a classroom, let alone at yoga school.

But they did.

And then they used insults such as “you’re energy is just so bad” as an insult in the argument. AN ACTUAL INSULT IN AN ARGUMENT.

I mean really.

If you’re going to yell insults at someone across a yoga studio mid class, you should probably be reassessing how much yoga has “really changed your life” rather than yelling at someone else.

And also maybe start working on your insults.
