hey Dogmama,

I am a runner/yogini just getting into cycling. It is definitely possible to be grumpy after yoga even though we normally consider it to be a relaxing experience. I practice ashtanga regularly, and my teacher says that forward bending tends to release anger (I'm sure your instructor's rambling didn't help ) but this could in part explain your reaction.

As far as chatty teachers...yep, had those. But my worst experience (spokewench, your mention of spinning instructor reminded me of this) was having an instructor who would openly flirt with the men in our class. Of course the men didn't mind flirting back with her. UGH.
