My regular yoga studio closed down for some remodeling, so the instructor has been holding the class at a YMCA building across town.
The building is an extra 20 minute drive for me and it can be difficult to get to class on time.
I started leaving work about 20 minutes early, so I had plenty of time to make the drive. My yoga instructor teaches beginner, intermediate, and advanced yoga classes. I absolutely enjoy my time in class and I feel like it is the only time during the day when I feel relaxed and carefree. When the regular yoga studio is open, I usually attend the intermediate and the advanced yoga class. I would attend the beginner class as well, but it is way too easy. Since they have been holding the class at the YMCA building, I’ve only been attending the advanced classes. It’s too much on my schedule to attend another class when the drive is all the way across town. I could only leave work 10 minutes early on Tuesday, and I was already running late when I started driving to the class. About three cars in front of me, I saw a cement truck. The cement truck was trying to pass the semi truck in front of him. The driver of the semi truck hit the brakes just as the cement truck was passing and there was a collision. The cement truck fell over on its side and traffic was rerouted into one lane. I was close to the front of the line thankfully, but the delay still made me miss the entire class. I drove all the way over there and everyone was leaving as I walked in the door.
