Absolutely. There can be a million rising sensations in response to language, pace, inflection, tone, volume - just as we might react to other stimuli in life. The trick is to notice, and come to our inner place of peace, as you say. The true yoga is within.
I hear you. Whenever, I teach, I think about the import of every word - and the spaces in between. Much admiration for those shifting between languages!
I find myself irritated with the fluffy instagram speak of some western trained yoga teachers - shine your heart forward? Grr. Who invented that? Breathe, Riverflows, breathe!
So far I took Yoga classes in German and English and taught classes in German, both languages are fine for me, what I don´t like is when teachers are too ego-driven, too new-agey and never stop talking during class, because for me it is essential to have some moments of silence while being in an asana.
Indeed... the profound language of deep silence is often overwhelmed by chatter about connection & breath... irritating in any language (but maybe especially in Thai 😉)

very Interesting post.. ! language is like a lens through with we perceive our world.. Our language dictates a lot about what and how we think, and how we interpret what happens to us in this world. If we dont even have a word for good or bad, then we cannot understand it.. and every language has own unique words, stemming from their very different way of seeing the world.
Good for you that you managed to put down your guard, and open up.. despite it being difficult with the Thai language.. Yoga ON!
as for your question "Have you ever been confronted in your sacred moments by the form or language being uncomfortable?" .
yes, a million times.. having lived in India, and been to many ashrams.. there have been many times and sacred moments.. one quite frustrating one was when this psychic / clarivoyant man gave me a reading. He was telling me all kinds of important deep spiritual stuff.. but his ENglish was terrible!.. so i had to almost guess at half of what he was saying.. in fact, that happend more than once.. also with a Thai Clarivoyant lady.. u probably heard of her! Jasmie she's called! I have a hour of recordings of her rattling on about GOd only knows what for half of it!

I love language so much but its subtleties affect me deeply. Yes... observe, allow, release, centre. 🕉
