When A Student Walks Out of Your Yin Class

In this episode of the Yin Yoga podcast, I discuss what to do when a student walks out.

As a seasoned teacher, I'll share personal experiences and address the emotional and logistical considerations for Yoga Teachers in these situations.

A student's decision to leave often has more to do with their individual needs than the instructor's abilities.

I also reflect on community feedback, the importance of class descriptions, and coping mechanisms for teachers.

This episode blends storytelling with practical advice, aiming to support Yoga Instructors in maintaining a grounded and understanding classroom environment.
