Yoga Drama

YOGA!

I have always loved yoga.  Used to be good at it.  Since B.C. (before children) I have dabbled in it.  I really wanted to get back into a regular practice at a quality place with an excellent instructor.

Yoga Drama 1:
Eva and I began with a friend at a nearby place in November.  We liked it.  She was extremely knowledgeable.  She did do more talking and less moving, but it was a nice way to ease back in to it.

Problem: 
She seriously canceled every other class.  Sickness, too much snow, traveling to India.....We gave her a fair shake.  Then we left because we ACTUALLY want to practice yoga, not just talk about it when the stars align.

Yoga Drama 2:
So one day when yogi #1 cancelled I got angry and went back to my old stomping ground.  I looked online at their policy, they didn't have any age restrictions.  So Eva and I went.  They were so kind, so welcoming.  They assured me it was fine that Eva came and practiced.  We practiced there for the next two months.  The practitioners loved Eva.  For the record, Eva is very quiet and respectful during class.  She is a little fidgety, but very well mannered.

Problem: 
One night I checked my email and I received a message from one of the owners.  She informed me that because of their studio policy, ages 12 and older, Eva could no longer practice.  You can imagine my fury after two months of practice and all my reassurance of her presence.  Turns out other practitioners wanted to start bringing their children.  They didn't want that.

Yoga drama #3:
No drama so far!  We found another place; the schedule is a little screwy but so far so good!  We really like it.  Some of the people are a little wacky, as yoga people sometimes are, but hopefully third times the charm!!!
