Saying No: A Yoga Practice in a Coffee Shop
The author, reading The Coaching Habit, reflects on Peter Block's definition of adult relationships. They recount a conflict at their yoga studio in a coffee shop, where office workers kept turning on the AC. Despite a note saying not to, the author turned it off, leading to a confrontation with an authority figure. The author argues that saying 'No' is always an option between adults and encourages readers to consider it more often.
Between two adults, saying 'No' is always an option and not something to feel weird or anxious about.
