Can yoga teachers or fitness instructors tell if you're in a bad mood?

If I arrive at your class in a bad mood, absolutely fuming, but I don't say anything, can you tell? Do people ever give off vibes even if they're just sitting there waiting for the class to begin?

If I arrive in a good mood but it turns out that we don't click, you keep doing adjustments and I'm thinking to myself oh FGS this teacher is so annoying, leave me alone, but I don't say anything, can you tell?

They probably can. But most people surely don't leave a yoga class in a bad mood. I don't really get your second bit....

A yoga teacher I had years ago used to claim he could read auras, and that he could tell you were angry from its colour. Barking mad, of course, but he was a decent teacher so I used to smile and change the subject to his other obsession, which was raw food.

But it's fairly obvious from looking at someone expression, body language, breathing whether they're in a good or bad mood, surely. Unless they're very practised at concealment.

Interested in this thread?

I'm an instructor and yes, unless you're a total expert pokerface, of course I can tell. Body language, looks, how you react or don't react when I'm talking to you. Why do you ask?

Pretty sure the whole world can tell when I'm in a bad mood. Grin

But yes, body language, facial expressions etc. You don't need an 'aura' to tell when someone's in a bad mood!

The reason they're doing adjustments is a) because you're not doing it properly and b) so you don't hurt yourself. They're not doing it to piss you off!
