On one or two occasions I have been casually doing my weekly shop and I'll see a familiar face on another aisle and just as I try to bring their name to mind and where I know them from, they've gone, scuttled out of sight - behind the baked beans no doubt. Then I realise it is someone who used to come to one of my yoga classes.
I feel sad that they feel the need to scuttle - please don't feel you have to scuttle. I'm the least scary person ever! I'd like to hear how you are getting on. How you may have found another yoga class which fits in better with your schedule, or you've found a teacher that teaches in a different way to me that you really enjoy, just a better 'fit' for you. I'm not everyone's cup of tea - a very honest lady once told me that I laugh too much in class, I'm hoping she went on and joined a more appropriate class for her!
Or maybe you learnt all you could from me and decided to delve deeper into another style of yoga - again this is wonderful news! Or perhaps you have developed a home practice and you are loving the beauty and solitude that a self practice brings.
Perhaps you decided to try Tai Chi, Pilates or Qi Gong and found this resonated with you more than yoga - it's fabulous that you have found a movement practice you really love.
Or maybe....you felt it has just been a little bit too long to make a return...this will never be the case. Even if you haven't been to class for 5 years or more, but you feel you want to come back, just come back - there will be no judgment! Just don't scuttle and hide behind the baked beans - come and say hello and let me know how you are.
On a more serious note it could be there was an injury, a private health issue or personal problem you don't wish to discuss with me over the avocados. It is none of my business - I get that. But just a nod and a wave is fine, just so I know you are ok....
