I swept the floor.......

My first Karma class:

I arrived at Karma studio early (work ends at 5, class is at 7, the drive is maybe 3 minutes......so there's no chance of my ever being late to this one!), grabbed my mat bag and a couple of blocks from the back of the mini-van and went inside. Every day now the place is taking its shape, becoming its own, changing, sporting new art and decorations on the walls. Shakira was blasting out of the speakers and Rebecca called out "we're dancing! come in and join us"!

One student arrived a few minutes later, did a little clothes shopping, and then we started the class. Rebecca unrolled her mat as well, and the three of us spent an hour on standing poses, supine stretches and then final relaxation. I have a Walkman, not an iPod, so I let Rebecca choose the music, Celtic (and how DO you really say that word? "sell-tic" kell-tick"?) as it turned out, and it did the trick.

The instructors are expected to help to clean and close the studio at night, so I followed the reception desk staff into the back room to find a broom, swept the floor and brought in the cardboard sign just outside the entrance for the night.

Here's hoping more Wichita yogi's will try a gentle Friday night yoga class to end the week and kick off the weekend!

Namaste, Cindy
