To stop going to a yoga class because they’re proposing changing the time? (With backstory)

[ZanyWriter]

Posting here for some perspective. Since March, I’ve been going to a Monday evening yoga class at 6:30pm. I’ve been consistent and found it helpful to wind down after the start of the week.

However, I recently got an email from the studio saying they’re thinking of moving the class to 7:30pm and asking for thoughts. On its own, it’s not a massive shift but it got me thinking.

Here’s the backstory (bear with me):
Last year, I used to go to a Tuesday class with a teacher I really liked. After a few months, another teacher (B) took over without any clear announcement. I reached out politely to ask if the change was permanent and got a vague reply. I then emailed again to ask about possible private sessions with the original teacher (A) and B never replied. I followed up once, still no reply. So eventually I sent a short, respectful message calling it out as discourteous and marked it as done - I wasn’t interested in any further interaction.

Fast-forward three months, A reached out of the blue to say hi and let me know she was teaching a new class. I didn’t reply because I’d already decided to move on. I’ve since been going to a Monday class with a completely different teacher (C), who I have no issue with.

Now they’re thinking of changing the class time, I’m wondering if it’s just time to let it go entirely. I’ve been questioning whether I’m going out of routine more than real desire and the whole studio has lingering associations that feel a bit off - even if the class itself is fine.

So… AIBU to just bow out now, even though the class hasn’t officially changed yet? Or does that seem overly dramatic/petty? I’m not upset - just unsure if I’m walking away from something that’s still fine or making the call at the right time.

What the fuck?!

Oh my goodness mountain out of molehill much?

😂

I don’t get the problem. Are you someone who is resistant to change? Classes change all the time!

You don’t even reply to teacher A because you’d moved on? that’s quite rude as she’d reached out to you especially!

They’ve asked for feedback regarding a possible change to the start time.

Tell them you prefer the existing 6.30 start, then wait and see what transpires.

If they do change it to 7.30 and that doesn’t suit you, then find somewhere more suitable (perhaps contact the original teacher who took the time to let you know she has a new class, though as you ignored her message, her class might be full now).

Is your post saying that you will stop going even if they don't change the time and they keep at it 6.30 which works for you, you enjoy the class and it is beneficial to you?

I don't understand why you would stop going because they considered changing the time but then decided not to.

If they change it to something that doesn't suit you, of course you can stop going.

I wonder if anyone has suggested you have quite rigid thinking before? Do you tend to find people difficult and have minor fallings out or disagreements?

You are massively overthinking this. The time no longer works for you so just stop going. They likely won’t care / notice.

You responded, indicated 630pm was fine, the rest seemed overthinking.

Could you not get back to A who may not have heard from B...

Or if the class time moves just decide if you CBA or not

Gosh, you sound quite high maintenance. If someone doesn’t reply to your 2nd email in a situation like this then you can assume it’s because either they don’t want to give you an answer you don’t like, and they’re not interested in continuing the conversation or there’s nothing in it for them. I expect they’d be quite happy if you stopped coming to the class.

What on God’s green earth has the backstory got to do with anything? The backstory is about A and B, who taught a completely different yoga class to the current one which is taught by C, right?

And if I emailed teacher B to enquire about private lessons with teacher A, I wouldn’t expect a response.

But again, that has nothing to do with the OP’s current issue!

Wow I’m glad all our problems aren’t as serious as this 🤣 You don’t seem to be benefiting from yoga perhaps try axe throwing or cage fighting!

Please keep going I think you need your yoga to help you stop overthinking

It sounds like control is quite important to you. I don't mean to imply this is a positive or negative thing.

So you emailed one of your past teachers to ask whether you could arrange private lessons with a different teacher, and then got annoyed and said so when he or she didn’t reply? And now you’re pre-emotively throwing your toys out of the pram in case your current class shifts times slightly, after consultation?

Seriously?
