Hot Yoga


Yoga makes everything happen.


Thursday night, I came to know that, I can’t attend the yoga class the next day. I was staying in woodland hills and I have to be there for whole next day. I’m doing the 60 day challenge and its 17th day tomorrow. I have decided not to break it even a single day during the challenge.

I woke up in the morning and had a very hectic day. Thank God, all my work got over by 3’o clock. I thought of going to yoga, but I didn’t have the car. I checked Google maps for the route to travel in metro and it showed about 2 hrs to reach my home in Pasadena.

I started executing the plan right away (3:30 pm) and went to the Orange line buy stop by 3:40 PM. I boarded the 3:49 pm bus to North Hollywood and reached NoHo by 4:34 pm. I got the Red line from NoHo by 4:45 pm and reached Union Station by 5:20 pm. I ran to the Gold Line terminal and got my train by 5:25 PM. That got me to the Lake Station by 5:50 pm. I rushed to home and started driving to the yoga class by 6:06 pm. I knew, I need at least fifteen minutes to reach the yoga class.

These days, the yoga class gets occupied as soon as the previous class gets over. Since it’s a Friday I hoped to get a spot. When I was trying to take a left turn in Walnut, there was a fire engine sound coming from behind and I pulled over my car to the right. I started driving once fire engine vehicle passed me. I checked the time and it was only 20 minutes to 6:30 pm. I was sure that I have the time, and I could reach in another 5 minutes.

After crossing Lake Ave, the traffic got slow down. In a few minutes, I could see only red lights of the cars in front of me and everybody was hitting the brake. I did a time check and it was only 12 minutes to 6:30 pm. I started losing my hope, since I was in the middle of the road and I couldn’t move anywhere. One can watch the movie as a viewer but can’t change the climax of the movie. And I was thinking, today’s yoga class climax is going to be in the road and all my efforts are going to be meaningless.

Slowly, the traffic starts moving and I got my hope again. Fire engine vehicle was in middle of walnut and the cars were allowed to go in one lane. I had 10 more minutes to 6:30 pm. “I can still reach before 6:30 pm”. The Firemen got down from vehicle and blocked my car and I began to think of the movie climax again. But he asked me to take the detour towards Colorado Blvd. I was so happy and reached yoga studio by 6:25 pm. I was rushing to yoga room with my shoes on and was stopped by Nafisa. I felt really bad, because I treat my yoga class room like a temple. I went back to the dressing room and removed my shoes, then got into yoga room and found a good spot, since it is a Friday. I had a very nice class and my day got its meaning.

Some climaxes are already written, and we can’t change it. Yes, today’s screenplay had lot of twists, but the climax was written for me to attend the yoga class and nothing stopped me.

Yoga makes everything happen.
