I had just finished a particularly challenging vinyasa class. Coated in a sheen of sweat, my heart swelled with the joy of knowing that in the five minutes that followed, rest wasn’t only encouraged, it was my sole purpose.
I reclined on my mat, wiggling my limbs around to get in the most *comfortable* position, when next to me I heard the dreaded clang of car keys against a water bottle, a sound many yoga students will recognize as that of someone bursting the warm, peaceful energy bubble of class and, well, leaving.
Da jeg vendte hovedet mod overtræderen, bekræftede jeg mine mistanker. Studenten ved siden af mig rullede hendes måtte op og forlod rummet. Men dette er den bedste del! Jeg tænkte for mig selv. Hvordan kan hun forlade før Savasana?
Mindre dom omkring at springe over savasana, tak
After doing some internet sleuthing (aka, scrolling Reddit threads), I came to realize that a lot of us judge others for leaving yoga class before Corpse Pose. We each have our reasons for defending the final resting position, most of which go a little something like this:
- Savasana er den vigtigste del af at praktisere yoga.
- It’s disrespectful to the teacher and your fellow students to leave class early.
- It’s okay to leave class early *only if* you have a good enough reason.
- Hvordan kan du ikke elske Savasana? (Okay, jeg er skyldig i at tænke på dette.)
But perhaps what’s more surprising than the fact that someone would leave class before Savasana is the fact that so many yoga students can’t understand this reality. Selvfølgelig Der er grunde - og det er ikke op til os at afgøre, om det er gode nok.
Er det trods alt ikke at praktisere yoga virkelig om at finde dig selv på måtten, acceptere hvad der er, og ære os selv og andre? (Og ja, selv når de springer over Savasana.)
19 grunde til, at folk forlader klassen før Savasana
Vi nåede ud til vores Stylesway VIP Instagram Community to ask you why you’ve left class before Savasana . Your answers were super relatable. After all, your practice is all about self-awareness—and you know your needs best.
- Det er fysisk ubehageligt for mig at ligge på ryggen.
- We had just finished a hot yoga class. The room was sooo hot, I felt like I was going to pass out.
- Læreren gik over tid.
- There was a sub for a vinyasa class who came in and taught yin.
- Jeg vidste, at jeg ville hoste meget! Ønskede ikke at forstyrre alle, så jeg snekede mig ud.
- Læreren skulle spille tibetanske sangskåle under Savasana, og jeg har sunde følsomheder.
- TBH, det var så sent om aftenen. Jeg ville bare gå hjem.
- Jeg forlader stort set altid tidligt i håb om at komme til omklædningsrummet, brusebad og ændre sig, før det bliver for overfyldt.
- Jeg tidsbestemte min morgen forkert og indså, at jeg ville være for sent på arbejde, hvis jeg ikke rejste.
- Jeg er en regelmæssig i studiet, og jeg græd grim under praksis. Jeg ville rejse foran alle andre, så jeg behøvede ikke at forklare noget for nogen.
- Jeg følte mig for ængstelig.
- Jeg var gravid og sulten.
- I worked at the yoga studio and needed to get back to the front desk before class ended.
- Generelt foretrækker jeg at meditere derhjemme eller i naturen.
- The teacher was disrespectful and reprimanding students throughout class.
- Helt ærligt kiggede jeg på uret og indså, at det næsten var mine børns sengetid. Jeg ville gøre det hjem til det.
- I got a text that my father-in-law was put in hospice. (I know, I shouldn’t have checked my phone during class.)
- I had an appointment – but I gave the teacher a heads up before class that I had to leave early.
- Upopulær mening: Jeg har ikke tålmodigheden til Savasana.
