That’s the way consent works, in yoga as in life. On the flip side, it is also the teacher’s right to not touch you even if you have asked to receive a hands-on adjustment. Every teacher on our staff is totally fine with you saying, “No thanks,” even if five minutes before you said you would be OK with a hands-on adjustment. Even if it might feel weird to say no in the moment, we really encourage you to trust your instinct. It is your right as a student to decline the offer of a hands-on adjustment.

At Marigold Yoga, we don’t call our classes hatha or vinyasa or ashtanga or power or any mashup of the foregoing.
