Jules Sinclair is an extraordinary woman. She possesses a mesmerizing natural beauty and appears much younger than her years. She has been blessed with intelligence, charisma, sexiness, boldness, and a zest for life. There are many fascinating stories that could be told about her.
Jules also has numerous interests, one of which is yoga.
She and a female friend signed up for a Friday-to-Monday yoga retreat at the Lunar Chaandr Ashram. When her friend was unable to attend, Jules decided to go by herself. The retreat promised lots of yoga exercise, meaningful camaraderie, and even a scenic hike.
On Friday, the opening night, the participants and staff gathered for a social get-together in the Ashram's Great Room. As is common in this type of retreat, each of the participants stood up and told everyone a little something about themselves. When her turn came, Jules stated that she is a guitar teacher. As the introductions went around the room, a fellow named Eric said he was a yoga-loving civil engineer, and mentioned that he also plays the guitar.
As the "getting to know each other" gathering was wrapping up, the people running the retreat approached Jules and Eric and asked if they would play guitars (the Ashram owned several nice acoustic instruments) and lead the singing at a sing-along campfire scheduled for the following night. The Ashram had sheet music with chord charts for her and Eric to use, and lyric sheets would be handed out to everyone else at the sing-along.
It sounded like a lot of fun, and both Jules and Eric readily agreed to do it. Jules was also more than a little intrigued about getting to know Eric, in large part because of his interest in the guitar and yoga. Although they looked about the same age, Jules guessed Eric to be about twenty years younger than her.
He was not terrifically handsome in the traditional sense. He was thin but appeared muscular, and wore glasses. He was kind of cute in a scholarly way. But Jules liked his unconventionally long hair and the way he smiled at her. He reminded her of someone she had known in another life.
The next day, Saturday, Jules and Eric spent most of their time in hatha yoga classes. But they also made time to get together and rehearse for the sing-along. As they practiced, they talked and got better acquainted. Both are happily married. Jules has one grown child, a son. Eric has two young daughters.
Eric proved to be intelligent, a good listener, and to have a keen sense of humor. The two of them hit it off immediately. In Jules's way of thinking, they made a very quick and meaningful connection.
That evening at the big campfire sing-along, Jules and Eric played the guitars and led the singing of a number of well-known songs. Many people danced as well as sang. The program was a great success. After the program, Eric gave Jules a big hug and she hugged him right back.
As they pressed against each other, Jules felt a physical thrill run through her body. Maybe it was because of the special energy that yoga retreats generate. Maybe it was the music. Maybe it was something else. But whatever it was, it seemed to get her juices flowing.
An early morning hike was scheduled for the next day, Sunday. Not surprisingly, Jules and Eric ended up "pairing off" and hanging around together during the hike. They talked and talked about anything and everything. They both had interesting stories to share. To the delight of both of them, their conversations strayed into flirting. They laughed as they compared notes on various sexual "firsts" in their lives.
It turned out to be a very fun and meaningful morning hike. Attractions and connections were forming between Jules and Eric.
Additional yoga classes were conducted Sunday afternoon. Later, after the group dinner, there was a final social gathering in the Great Room of the Ashram. The Ashram director talked briefly about the retreat highlights, and then the participants were invited to stick around and socialize.
Jules and Eric individually made efforts to mingle with all the other participants at the retreat. But eventually, they gravitated back towards each other. Something was happening and they both could sense it. As the evening progressed, the two of them were still talking about music, yoga, relationships, family, and life in general. After a while, everyone else had drifted off to bed and they were left alone.
