i was at a yoga class one time with my friends. and it was probably like, my fifth time doing yoga… and at the end of class the person in front of me (who i found out later is one of the instructors) told me “You’re very happy,” and walked away. why did she say that? i wasn’t constantly smiling or anything during the class. was it some yogini knowledge that she had, like did it have something to do with how i do yoga? i’m not good at yoga at all, and i’m pretty sure i was falling down a lot during poses that require balance…
What a stupid question you are asking, Useless …

But maybe no need to actually air that out there, imo.
We display varying degrees of stupidity in judging others. Asking any question has none.
Happiness is a state of being; and not an expression or feeling. Happiness may have an apparent reason or none. We remain in a state of happiness after experiencing pleasurable objects, like food, entertainment, sleep, good company. But such happiness comes and goes, stays only while the cause is present.
In spiritual quest, happiness arises from innate contentment and may or may not be explained by a material cause. Perhaps, the lady recognized happiness of this kind.
An early spiritual discovery is how little we know about oneself and the world; and the quest begins. The mantra is never give up, asking questions.
post hypnotic suggestion.
Naturegirl,
There is never a stupid question (referencing James above). I would never consider myself an expert in anything (per the title of the thread), but I can offer this. A good teacher is observant and intuitive. Merely accept the gift she gave you in sharing her observation. Whether it was a feeling of happiness for that brief moment in time or a more cultivated sense of contentment, it was something observable and a beautiful gift to you.
Maybe you appeared to be enjoying the session? I would take it as a compliment and not think too much about it.

What a completely rude thing you are saying! ‘Useless’ …

Well whoever James is he’s obviously a rude idiot…I think he should just be openly ignored by everyone until he just gets bored and goes away and finds some place else to be an a hole…
Sometimes someone says somehing that has no logic. We can brood on it but the more we do the more confused we will get. Best is to drop it.
If you cant drop it, next time you go there just ask the instructor -you said im happy , what do you mean by that? In that way you should have the answer and maybe the instructor says i dont know what i meant by that i just felt so at that particular moment so thats why i said so.
Not to belabor the point but we extend the same kindness and compassion to the questioner that we do to the respondent, regardless of their respective content. It doesn’t model a higher level of behavior to treat James with the same harshness that he has levied toward the OP.
As to the original question, yoga teachers say all sorts of things. Some of them are actually based on something. What your particular teacher sees in you only they know. Please ask this of them if it is important for you to know. Is it an insight? Perhaps. But since I wasn’t there and don’t know your teacher I could not possible say what’s afoot.
