I had regularly enjoyed going to yoga courses.
After my mother died, I no longer had the strength or want to go to the yoga classes.
Mom was my best friend, & confidant. I felt lost & alone, separate from her. I knew my Mom would not want me to behave enjoy this, & I was well aware that my partner was feeling neglected & just as lost. One night, she told me she was taking me for a ride, although I argued with them. She told myself and others she was not going to put up with any fights, & walked myself and others out to the car. All of us went about 6 miles, when she pulled over. I recognized the yoga studio immediately, & refused to get out of the car. She turned off the vehicle & sat there. I could not believe she was being so stubborn about myself and others getting out of the vehicle & going into the yoga studio. She set the child locks, locked the doors, locked the windows, & sat there looking out the window. I screamed at him to unlock the doors & windows & let myself and others out, but she ignored me. After 20 minutes, I asked her why she was doing this to me. She told myself and others that yoga classes regularly calmed myself and others down, & it was time for myself and others to get back into life. It was her mom that passed away, & not me. She wanted her spouse back, & if that meant getting myself and others back into relaxing through yoga, that’s what would have to happen. I held out my hand to him & asked if she would go into the yoga studio with me. Between my partner & the yoga classes, they saved my life that night.
