Mandatory De-Stressing

May 7th

MAY 7th

Yoga Studio:

Adam and Kim Mandatory Session

Yoga instructor: okay, you are going to come out of child's pose and are going to do pigeon. Now there are 3 forms of pigeon pose; full pigeon, half pigeon, and sleeping pigeon.

Full pigeon is where you'll snake your leg forward and across your mat and stretch your other leg back. You'll then put your head down on your mat.

Half pigeon is where you snake your leg across your mat and have your other leg stretched out behind you. However you don't put your head to the mat.

Sleeping Pigeon is where you lie on your back and put one of your knees up. You then take your other leg and rest your heel on the thigh.

While everyone got into positions, Kim couldn't help but hear her partner chuckle to himself.

"Adam, why are you laughing? This is supposed to be relaxing?" whispered Kim while getting into half pigeon.

"I'm sorry, but what is with all these names for poses? First I did a thing called downward dog? And then I did a pose called cobra? And now I'm doing a pose called pigeon? What even are these names?" Adam whispered back while failing to get into half pigeon.

"I'm too tall for this? I have no balance!" he protested.

"Shh" hissed Kim, while beginning to breathe.

Yoga instructor: okay, now would my lovely full and half pigeons like to sing for us?

The room of five individuals all stayed silent.

Yoga instructor: how about you? [looking straight at Adam] You look like you have a song in you just waiting to be heard!

"No mam, I don't really" stuttered Adam while looking at Kim, who was trying to stifle a laugh.

After the class was finished, the two walked up to the instructor and Kim spoke,

"I loved this class so much! We were here for the mandatory yoga session that the 21st district had to participate in. But I loved it so much, I'll happily come back when I have the time!"

The instructor smiled and handed the two a slip of paper to sign and they were off.
