Went to my usual Tuesday night yoga class yesterday - great class, great teacher. It's held at a local leisure centre.
At the end of the class when everyone was lying still in savasana, I heard some movement, opened my eyes and saw the teacher taking photos of the class. She has never mentioned doing this before and I've never noticed it happening. At the end of class I spoke to her to make sure I hadn't been included and she said it was only for her Facebook page and she made sure that no faces were included. She showed me the pictures to make sure I wasn't in them (I wasn't) but people were identifiable.
I don't want to make a fuss unnecessarily but she didn't seem to think that taking photos of people without their consent or even knowledge was a bit off. Given that there are people who are actually asleep during that section (there are audible snores) it feels like a huge breach of trust. I don't think anyone else was even aware that the pictures had been taken. I like the class and I like the teacher but I'm wondering if should mention it to the leisure centre. What would you do?
