Since I was introduced to yoga I would pack my yoga mat, a pair of tights and a crop top into my bag and then try to get to a class every day after work.
On this day I went on my way home from work to an ashtanga yoga class at the shopping strip near where I lived. It was a 20 minute walk home, so I would wait until I got home to shower and change after class. It was a good yoga class, 90 minutes of practicing all the standing and sitting poses.
The yoga teacher, Kara was a petite blonde who had the most amazing figure. She was short and thin, with long straight blonde hair, a flat chest, but her tiny round bubble butt which gripped and sucked in the tight blue spandex tights she wore, outlining her g-string underwear, more than made up. The guys in the class had their heart racing just looking at her.
I had just finished the class. I had my work suit packed in my bag and I was wearing my usual black spandex tights and a white crop top with a white sports bra underneath. I needed this to keep my 34B bordering C breasts firm in place. I never wore panties under my tights though. I used to find it uncomfortable and they really never served much purpose when you were sweating through all the layers anyway and the tights were designed to wick seat outwards while cotton just absorbed it all. Well, this was my philosophy anyway.
I was about 200 yards from the yoga studio when the rain cloud burst. It was pouring "cats and dogs" as they say. Within a minute I was soaked to the bone, my tights and top clinging tightly to my wet body with water streaming through them. I could not see the pavement in front of me. I turned around to go back to the yoga studio, but I could not see a thing. I then saw a headlight of a car coming down the road. It stopped in front of me. I was shaking and scared. Through the thundering rain i made out a familiar voice. It was the yoga teacher.
"Hop in, I will give you a ride home." she shouted through the noise of the heavy rain.
The passenger door then opened and I saw her calling me with her finger. I jumped at the opportunity and I climbed into the car.
"I am so sorry I will wet your car seat- I am drenched." I said apologising to her.
"Don't worry, I will drive you home. Where do you live?" she asked me.
"I am on 40 Hunter Street, a few blocks down the road and then to the right."
"Thank you again." I said to her.
We pulled in to my apartment block driveway and I fished around my handbag for my keys.
"Shit! I think I have left my keys at work and my flatmate is away on business until tomorrow."
"Sorry! Would you mind driving me to my friend Susan, she is only 10 minutes away" I asked her.
"Your name is Rachel, right?" she asked me
"Yes, it is." I answered her.
"Well Rachel, come stay at my place for the night, I am on the next corner, and I am nervous of driving in such hard rain with the streets almost flooding" she offered me kindly.
"I can't do that to you. Its nice enough you have given me a ride." I replied to her.
"No, just come to me, I can even show you a few things on how to improve your yoga", she insisted.
"Ok, thank you very much!"
We then pulled into the garage of an apartment block. We took the lift up to level 5 and then I followed her into her apartment. I was dripping all over the floor.
As we entered Kara looked at me.
"You sure are wet." she said while she looked me up and down at my sorry state.
My long brown hair was wet, my tights were clinging to my body, my water logged trainers were making a "squishing" sound, my sports bra and crop top were now see through and the bra's support was uncomfortably pulling on my skin. Kara opened the door and we walked into her small apartment.
"Take you wet clothes off and I will put them into the dryer." Kara said to me.
"If you want a shower it's at the end of the passage." she said pointing."
"I am going to have a shower too, so I will catch up with you in five minutes," she said as she disappeared into a bedroom.
I pulled off my soaked tights, top and bra and my drenched trainer shoes and I hopped into the shower. When I was finished I put the light blue bath towel around me, tied a knot to hold it up and I took my wet clothes in my one hand and went back to the lounge.
Kara was already standing in the lounge wearing a white towel and she grabbed my clothes and took them to the dryer and then came back to the lounge.
"How are you finding the yoga?" she asked me.
"Well I struggle with a few of the poses but I think I have improved." I answered
"I can't seem to get the downward dog pose right. I know you are supposed to put your pelvis up like a triangle but I can't get that one right." I added.
Kara dropped her towel and in with only thong undies on, she started to demonstrate the pose to me.
"You need to put your soles flat on the ground and push all your fingers down on the ground as you outstretch your arms and keep lifting up your hips." She said.
"So that you look like a triangle," she continued as her butt pushed out marking the top point of the triangle.
