uh ya, agree with Elizabeth. then there's the sitch where you are the first one there, you roll out your yoga mat on the floor... go over to the windows where the ballet barre is located, so you can stretch, or people watch on the street below..... more students arrive, the teacher arrives, so you turn around..... and what to your wondering eyes should appear?? not a miniature sleigh, nor eight tiny reindeer....nothing, that's right, no yoga mat... in its place, a student. you scan the room, there is your yoga mat rolled up at the back of the room. wtf?
so, one has to stay on their mat at all times, or lose their spot? and she's a rank beginner, you'd think she would want someone who knows what they are doing right in front of her wouldn't you? not being beside and behind other rank beginners who also don't know what they are doing. and being behind me wouldn't interfere with her view of the teacher, in fact, she'd have a clearer view of her. meh... some people have no manners.
