#19 - The Gary Problem (And Why He's Actually the Majority)

That student dying a slow death in the back corner? They're not the exception—they're 80% of people
  • I’m not ghosting you just because it’s the holidays

  • Accessibility is trendy but not much has actually changed

  • Gary dying in your Sunday restorative? He’s the majority, not the exception

  • Your classes are full of the exception to the rule

  • It’s easy to think things are accessible because everyone in the room seems to be able to do what you’re offering…until you realize who isn’t in the room

  • Holiday homework: ask non-yoga people why they don’t go (then shut up and listen)

  • “I’m not flexible enough” might be...accurate

  • Chair yoga isn’t accessibility, it’s just shapes on chairs

  • Student cried: “First class I could do everything” (Alex also cried)

  • You can make them fully included without them even knowing

  • People are literally too scared to take your class

D2R opens in days, might not open again for a year+
