    Yoga class attendee reports woman for 'breathing too loudly' during hot yoga, teacher tells her to be 'mindful': 'Breath work is FUNDAMENTAL to the practice'

    Have you ever been annoyed by someone's breathing? If you're anything like me, you have. Sometimes you're in the library, and the person next to you has a deviated septum or something, and it sounds like a freight train every time they exhale. This can get under your skin pretty easily. You know it's not their fault, so you feel bad, but it annoys you nonetheless. But you can't exactly ask somebody to breathe differently. It's one of the things we do subconsciously, so it's hard to change. This becomes an "us" problem and not a "them" problem. Maybe we can move to a different seat in the library. Problem solved, and we can all move on with our lives. But is there ever a situation when you feel you should intervene in somebody's breathing? Is this ever your right to call someone out for? One woman definitely thought so, and in a strange place. 

    Everyone who has ever practiced yoga knows that breathing is a fundamental part of it. One might argue it's the most important part of it. It's a practice of matching your breath to your movement, and that sometimes means breathing extra loud and intentionally. There are classes where they tell you your breath should be audible, or else you're not doing it right. There's also the added factor of it being a form of exercise, especially when it's in a heated room. As with any form of exercise, it will make you breathe a little bit harder. That's the point.
