Asking Eric: I was singled out by my yoga teacher, so I’m dropping her class

DEAR ERIC: I’ve been taking yoga classes for at least eight years from a woman who teaches a small group in her yard. I’m friendly with most of the students in the class, but the instructor apparently doesn’t like “the cut of my jib.”

Example: She singled me out in class one time, saying I looked like “someone’s mom in the ’70s doing yoga.” For the record, she is in her 50s, and I’m 10 years older. Another example was that she said I looked like a Lilly Pulitzer model. I was wearing bright lipstick (never again) and an ordinary top. I innocently asked who Lilly Pulitzer was; turns out she thinks I have a “retro” appearance, but not in a kind way.

A couple of weeks ago, I let her and the people I’m friendly with know that I would no longer be attending the class, which is on Saturdays.
