Both yoga and church consist of tightly knitted community. Once you are in, you become part of the family where everyone knows each other. And soon, you start hanging out with each other outside class or church.
Like any social groups, eventually gossips and clicks kick in. Then someone starts not getting along with another person. Someone else starts disliking another person. Those that refuse to conform gets outcasted. Along the way, people get disillusioned and dropped out.
What we tend to forget is the purpose of going to yoga or church? For me, going to yoga is about becoming a better person, physically and emotionally. Yoga helps me stay focused yet is effective in helping me relax. I will not drop out of yoga the way I dropped out of church because of the community. This time, I will stay focused on my objective.
