I EXHALED AND ALLOWED my breath to guide me as I shifted from
upward dog to downward dog, following the instructor on my laptop. I
pedaled my feet, working through the tightness in my calves as I waited on
my yoga mat for the next pose. I strained to hear what the instructor said
with the volume as close to mute as I could get it and still hear.
I should be sleeping, but old habits, particularly those honed during
childhood thanks to a flighty but loving mother with a tendency to favor
adventure over making it to school on time, died hard.
It was 5:30 in the morning, and I had the day off. I didn’t need to be
awake this early. I didn’t need to cram in a calming workout before
spending hours on the phone with angry customers. But instead of allowing
me the rare experience of sleeping in, my mind was running circles as I
worried about the day ahead and the week-long trip to celebrate my friend
Tory’s birthday.
I was already packed, for the most part. I only needed to
toss my shower items into my duffle bag, and I would be ready to go. My
roommates had agreed to watch my dog, Ruby. My mom knew where I
would be and could call if she needed me. There wasn’t any reason for the
nervous energy coursing through my veins. And yet, here I was in leggings
and a tank top, sweat beading my forehead, doing yoga in my bedroom
because I couldn’t get my brain to turn off.
“Step your right foot forward into a high lunge and raise up to warrior
one.”
Focus, Audrey.
If I could stay present on my mat, maybe I could stop worrying about my
upcoming drive with one of Tory’s friends, a man I’d only met in passing.
Not to mention other fear-inducing thoughts like flat tires, my mom having
another accident, animals darting in front of our car, and being too late to
celebrate Tory’s birthday tonight, in addition to worries I refused to think
through enough to label. After all, if I didn’t worry about it and try to
account for it, who would?
The slight jingling of dog tags was the only warning before a small, furry
body decided to join me on the mat. Ruby pressed against my right ankle,
looking up at me with interest in her dark chocolate eyes.
“I’ll walk you after this video is done,” I promised, shooing her away
with a wave of my hand. My little brown dog didn’t budge.
Ignoring her, I moved to warrior two, opening my arms and staring over
my right shoulder. Ruby took this as her cue to settle in, lying on top of my
foot.
The next pose had me shifting forward, twisting so my left hand rested on
the mat next to my right foot, my right arm extended. I gently nudged Ruby
away. She in turn dug at my hand to get me to wrestle, her wriggling body
hitting against me. As a shih tzu-mix, she wasn’t large, but she could still
throw off my balance.
I tightened my abs and grounded down through my feet to keep from
falling.
