🔥🔥🔥NEW PODCAST ALERT 🔥🔥🔥

 

I’ll never forget the time I was frantically trying to get to yoga class.

 

This was a common occurrence for me when I first started practicing in a yoga studio.

 

The class started at 4 pm. I would leave work *promptly* at 3:20, which in theory was supposed to give me enough time to get to the studio, put my yoga pants on, and be in the room ready for class.

 

However, even one snag, like an emergency vehicle passing by, or the average Portlanders resistance to merge into traffic, could put a wrench in my tightly planned schedule.

 

On this one particular day, I was working very hard to get to class on time, but there was traffic over the Ross Island Bridge and things were moving like molasses.

 

I knew I was going to be late, but how late was the question.

 

I took matters into my own hands: 

 

Accept the things I cannot change➡️ traffic ✅.

 

Courage to change the things I can➡️ this is where things got weird.

 

I decided that if I could change my clothes right now, it would save me time once I arrived at the studio, thus making me less late.

 

So, I did that. 🤦‍♀️

 

What people in the other cars saw that day, I’ll never know.

 

Next, I had to change pants—this was the tricky part. 

 

Maneuvering my feet on the pedals, while taking off one pair of pants and putting on another (sweating like crazy, mind you) was just an experience I’ll never forget. 

 

Without creating a major traffic accident, getting arrested for public indecency, or being a distracted driver, or a combination of all three, I changed into my yoga pants on the Ross Island Bridge.

 

Sometimes, I wonder if a parallel universe exists where I caused a bridge accident with my yoga pants bound up at my ankles and massive amounts of butt sweat on my car seat. I thank Higher Power I’ll never know.

 

Now, all of that to say that if virtual yoga had been a thing at the time, I would’ve just gone home, changed pants, and taken the class online. 

 

It would’ve given me the chance to attend class without making a splashy entrance, or sketchy decisions whilst driving over a body of water.

 

I notice that some studios are eliminating their online options now that the “pandemic is over.” (Although, that’s a debatable statement.)

 

Having choices is important. The choice to attend a class in-person and online has been a game changer. Sometimes you wake up with a scratchy throat, can’t leave the house, have a two year old, or need a litt
