Yes Yoga exposes a lot of vulnerable areas for me (which is why I'm so tense most of the time and need it) but I don't usually break down crying in front of everyone and have to curl up in a corner. I was just frustrated with, and feeling confined by, my stupid body because everyone else was easily doing something my body couldn't do and I was fighting myself again, then a plane flew overhead really really low and made a loud noise that filled the whole room for what seemed like forever and all my feeling vulnerable came to a head, I felt crushed by the noise, it felt like the end of the world, and restricted by my limitations, both of which led to complete panic and then shame and then I just burst into tears and couldn't cope for the rest of the class, when I thought I'd been doing so well at coping lately having just got to the end of the semester not needing any time off and being able to cope with anything (but really if I'm honest with myself I'm just doing better at holding everything together and bottling everything up - again). Then I felt like I wanted to hurt myself and didn't feel safe.
