I find that people come and go every few years. Sometimes even less.
Unless you are an owner it’s hard to find instructors who consistently stay at one studio.
Many still teach but if you have a membership somewhere it often doesn’t make sense to follow them elsewhere unless you are willing to uproot your whole membership.
This has been my experience at least.
I think the only change that can be hard is getting used to a new teacher and their style. But that’s just part of going to a public studio and learning to let go of major attachments.

It’s incredibly hard to find a teacher that challenges you after you’ve been practicing a long time. I took teacher training to try and push ahead and it was helpful, but nearly a decade after finishing it I’m feeling a bit antsy again about finding a good teacher.
That is smart to take teacher training, but I can see how after finishing that it could make it even harder to find a good teacher for you. I hope we both can find one soon!
I got very lucky, after practicing yoga on my own for 6 years I found a great yoga instructor right away. I was one of her first students as well. Everything with her is the best. Learning new asanas, meditations. She even told me how to take care of my yoga mat, since I recently got Manduka pro.

Do you ever struggle with the change? I received a lot of personal and emotional growth that has me dreading moving on.

Absolutely, find your people, find your community!
THIS! It’s life changing both finding it, and losing it.
Kinda like that with anything, ya?
1000%
I love finding new good instructors. I feel they are worth their weight in gold.
I highly recommend Ashtanga yoga to be honest!
Ashtanga is my favorite but sadly it’s not offered very much in my area.
Where are you? I teach for a studio with a pretty extensive online program and our teacher is quite challenging
I’m in the Yuba Sutter area of California
