Mother’s Day surprise started little early for me. Lately I’ve
been contemplating starting some exercise regimen. So on that note my
thoughtful husband n lovely kids surprised me with a groupon of unlimited yoga
classes for a whole month. They even made sure to choose the yoga studio which
is really convenient commute from my home as well as work. With the thought
that I can actually utilize that package to the fullest- considering my love
(ok, I admit- the way I pretend to love) of yoga!
So I go to bed on Friday night on time; made sure the timing
of my yet another favorite (!) HOT yoga class on Saturday morning. This morning
I woke up; made a healthy smoothie with refreshing cucumber, detoxifying
ginger, berries with full of antioxidants- the kind that’s been described in FB
& all healthy living articles! I am feeling it Universe- way to health!! My son even made a chart for me to mark days
that I’ve attended yoga classes!
With all such love and encouragement- I start early- after
frantically finding the yoga mat (because I love yoga- I do have a yoga mat-
which seems to play hide n seek because of lack of attention!), a bottle of
water and a hand towel to wipe off all the sweat that’s awaiting in the HOT
yoga session. I am feeling so good to arrive
5 minutes early to the class to finish any paperwork that I might have to fill
in. I signed up for the class roaster, settled my things and went to the front
counter for giving my groupon details.
She asked me if I have attended their studio before. I scratched
my memory and said yeah I’ve made that attempt before. So that lady enters my
details in their database and tells me, “Sorry, you are ineligible for this
package because you have been here before. And this package is only for the new
students!”
Hmm, after all it’s just not meant to be!!
I come home and half-heartedly told my family what had
happened. My hubby goes, “Then why didn’t you attend that class as a drop-in
student?” umm, I could have done that, right? It just didn’t occur to me-
because it was just not meant to be! Well, it’s the thought that counts!
Then I frantically search where I can go for yoga class
today; and aha!! I found something that is carved out just for me- the one that’s
meant for me!! “Mothers Day Special- Yoga Nidra, Meditation, Mindfulness
and CHOCOLATE!”
Nirvana!!
Hari Om….
