Personal space in a yoga class?

I absolutely cannot stand (or actually to lie in sivasana) when someones feet are 3 inches directly above my head.

I hate it! Sometimes the feeling is so strong I have to lay diagonal across my mat, or just refuse to lie down. Especially in a bikram class when I am in the midst of floor series, and trying to calmly work through postures, but look up to see cragly toenails and sweaty feet pointed right at my face.

UAGH! Usually I try to go in the front row, or put my mat between the two in front of me, but sometimes the classes are so full there’s no helping it. Any advice to a yogini who hates having feet aimed at her head?
