Heck yeah that makes sense!! How frustrating! I remember having to learn not to REACT to situations in the early days of my Recovery. Nowadays that has translated into having to learn to let others not react too. Sometimes I get so angry at someone else, I have to walk away or else I KNOW I will explode. Maybe try to think of it that way? That she isn't necessarily refusing to talk to you but that she needs some time to let something pass in order not to explode. IDK, not condoning the behavior, just trying to make it feel a little easier for you? I read an author once who kept repeating, "Expect the best possible motivations in others." That helps me a lot to keep my thinking on track, which in turn helps me to deal with other people a little better. This too shall pass, right? I am sorry it is a trigger for you.

I don't know of any websites that teach yoga but I'm sure if you google it, there will be video presentations
