How do yoga teachers make sure that their students behave in class? and do what the teacher says. I was once in a kripalu yoga class and towards the end two people got out super soakers and squirted everyone in the class. and someone else threw cream/custard pies in two student’s faces. The teacher she was not too happy about what those people did in the class. and all the students ran for it after that happened.
That behavior strikes me as a bit odd.
In the classes that I teach students only bring in to the studio classroom that which is needed for the practice. Squirt guns and pie are not included.
The larger issue of behavior of students I believe we’ve chatted about over the years. A search through the forum might yield those results.
If there are random and sporadic issues then I’d take them case by case. If they are continual and ongoing then I think the teacher has to examine what is going on both energetically such that they are drawing such behavior and pragmatically such that they may be fostering, permitting, or not intervening in it effectively.
