I think you should talk to the instructor, tell her you need to modify - and to stay away from you. I think the manager should also know about this harmful instructor. Even though you probably signed a waiver, the club is still responsible for your safety. You didn’t injure yourself she injured you.

This was my first thought as well. I would consider filing a complaint with their manager. I’d also avoid that instructor if you do return. When you file a complaint you might ask if there’s an instructor who is trained to help clients with modifications.
No instructor should touch a client without asking for permission! 99.9% of adjustments can be done by describing the change in the client’s form that needs to happen. Clients tend to internalize and remember verbal corrections better because they have to physically figure it out. For the other 0.1% it only takes a second to ask if a hands on adjustment is ok.

If BM was working for you and you were enjoying it, I'd return. However, I'd certainly modify (yes, it'll still be effective), and I would hesitate before attending that instructor's class. I'm pretty non-confrontational but I think someone should know what happened, either the manager or bringing it directly to that instructor.

Any good teacher training should guide instructors to ask before touching/adjusting a student. You should absolutely report this to management -- injuring students is not good for business! Please do not accept it as normal or acceptable teaching behavior and you should not stop something you enjoy because of a bad teacher. Your participation in a class is your decision and it is not up to a "strict" teacher to decide how far/deep you go in a class.
After a rather debilitating shoulder injury caused by an overly emphatic adjustment at a yoga retreat (she did not ask before twisting my arm in down dog), I am considering making a button or shirt that says "ask before adjusting" to wear to class. |

Also, if you don't report it or talk to the instructor, she may think her behavior is okay and may wind up injuring someone else.
