Getting confused between left and right on Zoom yoga classes

I usually know my left and right. I'm not one of those people who gets them mixed up. But when I started doing yoga classes on Zoom I found it very confusing, especially as the other members of the class seem to be doing things the other way round from me. Am I seeing a mirror image of the other people?

I got comfortable with all this stuff several months ago now, but yesterday I did a class with a different teacher from usual and I got confused all over again. I actually felt like she kept switching between meanings, sometimes mirror-teaching but sometimes not.

Do different teachers do it differently on Zoom? Can anyone offer any advice please as I got so confused yesterday.

Not that I'm aware of but just follow the instructor and as long as you're consistently using one or other side as "left" or "right" then it should work out

Not all teachers mirror and it also depends which way they have their mat ie horizontal or vertical to the camera. Also some teachers aren't very clear!

I think zoom defaults to mirror your video so that may be why
