We had to pair up in class one day, which is fine, I’ve done it hundreds of times, but the lady that I had to partner with really made an impression on me. We didnt really speak, but the communication was there just in the eyes and the facial expression. She’s likely 15 years older than me, and the attraction is in no way superficial, (though she is pretty).
I sense that perhaps she has picked up on my yogi crush and if so, I’m sure it may be a bit awkward. I don’t know what to make of it and I fear to try to explain it out of concern for placing ideals on people. Does anyone have insight or opinions in this matter?
So you have a crush. Is that only allowed outside a yoga class?
Go with it, maybe something will come of it maybe not.
If it is student-student and you’ve cleared your own way for the exploration of a sincere relationship (rather than one only grounded in vital force) then by all means see what matures from it.

The only way to avoid temptation is to full-fill it, there is nothing wrong with desire. Although, the age old belief of the path to enlightenment is only through giving up desire is something always debatable.

Actually, fulfilling the call of temptation is not at all avoidance. It could only be classified as “succumbing”.
There is nothing inherently “wrong” with desire. However there are classifications and levels of desire. The desire for nicotine, for example, is not identical to the desire to fulfill one’s dharma or life purpose.
