The other day I rushed out the house, - last minute as usual,- trying to get to a yoga class on time (as a student). I had booked my spot the day before, but was worried because cancelling meant being penalised as I had recently learned the hard way. 2 strikes and you're blocked off the booking system no matter what. I threw something on and everything was looking fine until my 2 year old looked at me with big, sad eyes and clung onto my leg "Mummy, mummy, mummy." Heart sinks. Torn between missing my yoga class and leaving the little chap feeling a little sad (he wasn't ill or desperately distraught. He'd had his tea. Dad was home. All was good). Dilemma under time pressure: If I stay, I can cheer him up and play, but maybe feel disappointed and, let's be honest, frustrated that I can neither get to yoga for the good it will do me or get my money back. Plus, there's pressure to both use up my pass as well as follow the yoga studio's rules. Enter the scene big bro. "Come on little bro, don't cry. Tickle, tickle, tickle", and the little chap is back to being a smiley little fella and they're running about as usual. They should probably be going to bed, but hey, it's the weekend and that's another issue. Phew. My hero. I'm off the hook but now I'm probably a little late. Yikes. Run, run, run. All the way I'm anticipating trying to have to talk my way in as surely they will have already started. I'm really expecting to be turned away, but I'm half way now, might as well try. Lock up bike. Run in. Pheeew. They're still setting up when I get there. I throw my coat in a corner and plomp down on a mat. Yay. Made it. But I don't feel great, a bit sticky and the adrenaline is still flowing. Of course this will quickly pass and I'll enjoy the class. It is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it did make me reflect on how I want people to feel when they come to my classes: Getting to yoga class should not be stressful because of the yoga class "rules" for want of a better term. Life throws enough at you on the way, we're all grown ups trying to manage our time as best we can. So here are my class "rules" :)
***Update: the following class I tried to squeeze in I was 4 MINUTES late to because toddler fell off a chair and had been ill all weekend and I lost my money!!*** Also check out below a snippet from : Stress-free yoga for mums (whether you should come to Mum is off to yoga classes) If you can identify with any one of the statements below, then you are very welcome :)
