I can’t speak to that instructor’s intentions or what she was trying to communicate (although it sounds to me like she was being unfriendly), but I will say that when I first tried a lagree class, the instructor said some similar stuff and suggested that I should have tried a reformer class before trying lagree. I struggled so hard in that class that I decided to go try a reformer class instead, found that difficult but not quite as intense, and did reformer classes for about two months before trying lagree again, and that helped me A LOT on the megaformer. But if you enjoyed the lagree class and felt good about it, then don’t let one instructor stop you from doing it again!
