Default Joint Ancient Runes and Arithmancy Lesson: Stadhagaldr/Chakras

As you enter you see rows of candles lining the walls. The usual tables, chairs, and cushions are all gone. They have been replaced by yoga mats, evenly spaced in perfectly straight rows. Faint music plays in the background and an antique tea cart sits at the front of the room, next to Professor Davis, who is quietly sipping a cup of herbal tea while monitoring the changing rooms.

Although the room is quite dark, the words on the chalkboard seem to glow just enough to be visible from the entrance. They instruct you to enter silently, change into athletic attire, then stand next to an open yoga mat.

Professor Sabra can be found seated on a yoga mat in a meditative pose, who while it may not seem as if she’s paying attention, she’ll give a brief nod of acknowledgement as you enter the room.

OOC details:Welcome to the joint Ancient Runes and Arithmancy class. Please make sure you have read Professor Sabra’s and Professor Davis’ rules, as well as all SS site rules. Class will start in about 24 hours. Keep in mind that this would not be the first IC class of the year. CLASS HAS STARTED; Please pretend as though you've been there the whole time, unless you wish for punishment accordingly.

Arithmancy and Ancient Runes. Well, okay then. Hanna walked into the classroom, taking it all in. Her heart beat a little faster than it had only seconds ago. Where she would usually be quite happy about there being yoga mats, with the prospect of doing activity during class. However. There was a tea cart. Professor Kennedy had also had a refreshment cart. Not long after that, he was given the sack. So no, Hanna would most certainly NOT be having tea.

Instead, she offered both Professor Sabra and Professor Davis a nod of hello, remaining silent. She removed her outer uniform, revealing her athletic uniform underneath. She picked the yoga mat she'd use for the day, but remained standing.

Ancient Runes had quickly grown to be one of Stasya’s favorite subjects since first year, even if it hadn’t ever passed DADA during the time Professor Hirsch was there, although even so, the connection with Arithmancy had confused her a little. However, she was more curious about the joint lesson for other reasons. Thanks to the weather, it had been relatively easy to wear leggings and a tank top under her usual school uniform, and she’d slipped a hoodie into her school bag along with sneakers and her usual collection of things: textbooks and supplies for the lesson, a library book or two from the Team Animagus stash, her secret notebook of notes about the happenings at school and a sealed box of cookies from her most recent kitchen baking expedition.

The décor of the classroom as she’d slipped into it earned only the slightest expression of surprise, too. Obviously they’d been expected to do something with exercise, considering the request to have athletic apparel to change into, but yoga was new. She felt a moment of concern that the headmaster would find something wrong with it all and both new professors would suddenly be replaced too, but that didn’t stop her from giving both Professor Sabra and Professor Davis smiles as she’d set her bag down near a mat and quickly removed her uniform and slipped her hoodie on, making sure to carefully fold the different pieces of her uniform so they wouldn’t get wrinkled during the lesson.

The memory of what had happened to Professor Kennedy was still fresh enough that she only glanced at the tea cart, though. It wasn’t worth the stress to risk a cup.

Skyler walked into the classroom quietly. The first thing she noticed was the candles. It was quite dark in here. She saw the board. Okay...she glanced at the
professor(s) and silently went to the changing room. After shr was done changing, she stood next to an open yoga mat and waited silently.

Rylee was sure how Runes and Arithmancy went together and lets be honest, she didn't really care. Neither of these lessons were very high up on her list of ones she was good at or truly enjoyed. However here she was and very much on time.

Entering the room she took in how dark it was being only lite by candle light. Yoga mats. Uh, well okay then. That at least explained the reasoning behind why they were supposed to bring comfortable clothing. A warm smile was sent to each of the Professors in silent greeting before she made her way to a changing room.

Once she had changed from her uniform, which was folded neatly and placed into her bag, into her athletic wear she came out and selected a yoga mat beside Stasya giving her warm smile. Setting her bag down on the floor she remained standing as patiently as she could.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

There were two ways this could’ve gone, either the professors had obtained permission from the Headmaster to have the students change into exercise clothes once they arrived at class, or they were having them be sneaky by wearing uniforms to the class to not arouse suspicion. It was all the Ravenclaw could think about on her walk down to the Arithmancy classroom. The bag slung over her shoulder felt heavy. Until she was certain which scenario it actually was, it felt like the extra clothes stored in there were illegal and would land her in trouble.

Finally at the door, Jessa got set to ask—for her own peace of mind, at the risk of breaking yet another rule when she saw the tea cart. The Head Girl’s mouth went dry. Her eyes widened at one Professor blatantly breaking the rules and like Kennedy, he was inviting them to do the same.

Jessa remained at the door, unwilling to step inside. This time, there was thankfully no one who’d gone and taken a cup of tea, meaning at the absolute worst she’d only have to report the man—and you know what that thought didn’t bother her as much because he’d brought it on himself rather than being a student with it forced on him—but it made her uneasy all the same.

The no food rule was by far one of the easiest to follow, which made it difficult for her to accept. It was unnecessary rule breaking and only served to make her anxiety worse. With only these few days left before Christmas break, you’d think the professors would give THEM a break. Merlin’s beard.

She would wait here by the door, but lifted her hand to be acknowledged. She had questions before deciding if she would enter or skip this lesson altogether.

Even with everything going on lately with teachers being sacked drama, and drama of just being a Hogwarts student drama Juniper was pretty much over the moon excited about this joint lesson of Ancient Runes and Arithmancy. Her two favorite subjects in one lesson. And she enjoyed the professors of both subjects. She was so excited about the lesson.

That was until she read down more on the notice about the lesson. The fact that it was in the Arithmancy Tea and Meditation Room was already a sign that drinks were possibly going to be bad. At wasn’t until she had gotten to the last part that really added the icing to the cake. Under the what to bring was Comfortable, athletic attire to change into. To change into, was that being sneaky? Or wasn’t it.

Now that she had been dreading this class for a week now. Or however long it had been. She left the Ravenclaw tower and headed to the tea and meditation room. Less thrilled about the lesson then when she first seen the notice.

Her bag was jammed packed with her books for both subjects, notebooks for both and of course and very reluctantly the change of clothes, her Ravenclaw long sleeved t shirt, jogging pants, and sneakers the same thing that she had opted for in the CoMC lesson were they were to wear comfortable clothes.

As she headed into the classroom, she almost ran into the head girl who was standing by the door. ”Oh sorry Jessa.” She stopped and looked around to see why the head girl was there at the door. As she looked around she noticed the tea cart by the Arithmancy professor. She let out a sigh, saying to Jessa. ”It’s like they want us to break the rules.” The sixth year honestly didn’t understand it. Kennedy had been sacked for providing drinks during a lesson, his last lesson. Wayland could have just as easily been sacked for having/letting them wear comfortable clothes for the lesson.

The Ravenclaw captain just shook her head at the head girl and sighed as she headed on into the classroom. So she was staying. Or for now at least. She choose the mat closest to the door, for a quick escape. She did see the board saying to enter silencely, so that meant no greeting the professors? Good she wasn’t planning on it not now. Providing drinks, trying to get them to break the rules or something. Then to change, again that was breaking another rule, but if they were doing something that wouldn’t be comfortable in robes and find a mat. She had her mat and she was standing on it, arms crossed in front of her chest waiting to be told to when to sit down when the lesson starts.

astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf

Derf had been fretting quite a bit about this lesson and had had every intention of going to speak to the Headmaster before class to ask what was weighing heavily on his mind...but he had half chickened out. What if he got in trouble for asking a 'stupid question' because such free thinking was no longer permitted at Hogwarts? How dare he, the sixth year, think that the Headmaster wasn't aware of what was going on under his very nose - which, well, there was a lot going on the man did not know about but anywaaaaay - and OF COURSE he had given permission and whatnot. But then again, what if the opposite were true? What if this was a test to see who among his student leaders he was - incorrectly - trying to train like well groomed crups?

So much fretting had gone on that ultimately...he had run out of time and had to head to class. Ancient Runes was one that he had kept in his schedule, Arithmancy...not so much. And he still wasn't sure what to make of the new professor. For all Headmistress Hawthorne's faults...Derf had always enjoyed her lessons and learned loads. Plus...it was hard to dislike someone who literally provided you with the tools to communicate with creatures, you know? So the jury was still out on this. Both professors, really. Though the Arithmancy professor had won him a few chocolate frog points with the guitar at the feast which, well, he reckoned music was soon to be outlawed and he hadn't seen the man with it anywhere recently. A pity, really.

Thing was, the Hufflepuff couldn't even really get IN to the classroom seeing as Jessa and Juniper were standing there - Jessa being the more telling of the two and it meant something ELSE was wrong. Or potentially wrong. So, peering around the two Ravenclaws while offering them a silent hello in the form of a smile, he peeeeeeeeeeeered into the classroom and saw...tea.

And his stomach sank.

Already struggling with his inner passive aggressive demons on his own hypocrisy...he knew what he HAD to do to quiet that one. Though it would only make the other louder. There was no winning this term, something Derf was starting to realize. You could do everything right and still...end up losing.

Since he wasn't technically IN the classroom yet....he spoke up. "Um...professors?!" he asked with a small wave, still standing beside Jessa and Juniper at the threshold for now. Or well, he was by both of them because Juniper stepped inside soon enough "Do you........um.........did the Headmaster sign off on all of this?"

The uniforms. The tea. All of it.

Professors purposefully defying the rules and getting themselves fired helped none of them. NONE. Students needed allies and everyone KNEW what happened when someone was fired - they were replaced with another joyless ex-Auror sort and leaving the students more at the mercy of this regime. It, well, it was a betrayal of trust.

Skyler glanced at Derf. He was dumb. He knew not to talk he knew that. But alas. Skyler was not going to lose anymore house points. She then quickly stared ahead still not saying anything.

Katrina was seated at the front of the classroom, legs crossed, eyes half closed. No she wasn't sleeping. She was watching Davis curiously from her periphery, because while she agreed to have the lesson in this meditation room, she had to admire his defiance about one of the no food or drinks rules. A rule she might have broken in her office already. Not that anyone would know, because if there was thing the former Gryffindor knew it was that rules weren't broken unless you were caught.

She inclined her head briefly at Hanna and Stasya's entrance, all quickly changing into their comfortable clothing. And Skyler and Rylee not far behind. But then there was some commotion at the doorway, which Katrina broke from her meditative reverie.



SPOILER!!: Jessa, Juni, Derf!

Why was Jessa just standing there holding up traffic? Why ... and then, the Hufflepuff Prefect with that question and the Runes Professor turned her gaze from the trio of student leaders and back over towards Davis at the tea cart. Oh. With a quick non-verbal casting, she disillusioned the tea cart. It was for decor mostly anyway, but if it was going to be an issue having it there... well, best to make it not there.

"You're to wear your uniforms around the castle, which is why we have the changing rooms available because for the sake of this lesson, we don't think it would be very comfortable wearing uniforms. You'll change back into your uniforms at the lesson's conclusion." In case that wasn't clear. That wasn't really answering the question and yet.... it did.

"It'll be okay. Promise." She might have only been here a few short months, but in that time she wasn't about to let go so easily.

"Please, come in. Go change behind the designated area. No monkey business. Then take a seat on a mat and we'll begin shortly." While it was unfortunate what happened with Kennedy and Stewart, surely these students needed to trust them that they took every precaution to not break the rules. The tea cart was a minor slip as it was a staple to this room, but that issue was fixed now as well.



ooc: Lesson still hasn't officially begun yet; so please come on in and play with us!!! It'll be fun!

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Jessa barely registered Juni’s arrival until the girl spoke the very words she’d been thinking. It DID seem like that was the intention of the remaining professors, didn’t it? She sucked in a breath, her hand still raised and waiting to be acknowledged. It wasn’t until Derf showed up and asked what had been on her mind that it finally went to her side.

The Professor making the table invisible didn’t make things better because her colleague was still there sipping. He was still breaking the rules, and carelessly so. It made Jessa’s stomach knot uncomfortable to the point she felt physically ill.

The fact it’d been disillusioned told her it wasn’t needed at the moment—later in the lesson maybe? But it didn’t explain why Davis was sipping it. Were they to sip it at some point later in the lesson? That didn’t make her feel any better. The man’s cavalier attitude toward something that was now giving her so much grief only had her questioning the motives of this lesson even more.

Then the woman said that. Forgive her for growing all the more sceptical but Kennedy had said the same thing and look what that got him. It was insane to think these professors considered rule breaking okay. If it really was as simple as class requiring different clothes, why didn’t they run it by the Headmaster? If it was so okay, then it shouldn’t have been a problem asking. Unless they did ask. But then, why not just say That when Derf asked? It would be infinitely more reassuring than a flimsy “it’ll be okay”. Couldn’t do jack with a “it’ll be okay. Promise”. The promise was little more than the grass out on the grounds to the Ravenclaw—scratch that, the grass had more value.

“I don’t mind the discomfort, Professor.” She said quietly, blue eyes still on the spot the table was at. If the only reason for ignoring the rule was comfort, then she would pass on that. “I could also charm my uniform to be more efficient throughout the course of the lesson.”

Foster gave a polite nod to Hanna as she entered, noting the look on her face as she gazed at the tea cart. The antique tea cart was one of his most prized possessions and would remain in the room, class or no class. Then Stasya entered and he quickly realized that he should have noted on the black board that the tea was not for them and there was no need to worry.

He watched Skyler and Rylee enter, followed by Jessa, who paused in the doorway causing Juni to bump into her. Before he had a chance to ask Jessa what the problem was, Derf entered and Katrina spoke up. His aching throat thanked her, although he wasn’t sure it was necessary to charm the cart into hiding, he was all for making the students more comfortable.

“Ms. Cambridge. I do apologize if I have made you, or anyone else, worry.” He said in a voice of someone that had obviously been sick. “If you were to take a closer look, the tea cart was empty. It has always been, and will remain in the meditation room, but it’s not here today for the use of the students.” Foster cleared his throat in attempt to sound less hoarse. “I, however, will be sipping some tea during the lesson in order to help preserve what is left of my voice.”

Foster sat his cup down and walked closer to the students in an attempt to not need to increase his volume. “You will also note that there is no sign or notice inviting any of you to consume food or drink in this class. I believe the instructions on the board are quite clear and I hope from this point forward the instructions you are given will be followed.”

“Now, with that matter taken care of, let us get class started.” He walked over to his yoga mat and folded his long legs in to a cross legged sitting position. “You may all take a seat on your chosen yoga mat.” He glanced around to make sure there were enough mats and the changing rooms were empty before continuing.

“We will begin with some meditative breathing. The purpose is to bring our bodies into a state of deep relaxation, removing anxiety and stress from body and mind.” He placed his hands, palm up, on his knees, sat up with excellent posture, and momentarily closed his eyes. “This breathing technique is called the 4-7-8 technique.” With a flick of his wand, the instructions appeared on the board.

“First, close your eyes and let your lips part. Make a whooshing sound, exhaling completely through your mouth. Next, close your mouth, inhaling silently through your nose as you count to four silently in your head. Then, for seven seconds, hold your breath. Make another whooshing exhale from your mouth for eight seconds.” He demonstrated the entire technique one time through. “I would like all of you to do four full rounds of this breathing technique before Professor Sabra moves on. If you are having trouble, please silently raise your hand and I’ll be around to help.”

Patrick had glanced around noting the concern in his friends faces at the tea cart. It was one thing he was still trying to become used to. He had always kept snacks in his bag and now he couldn’t at all. Ugh he hoped he could make it through this year. He really needed to get his act together.

He hadn’t meditated before per say but he figured it was close to the few times he did yoga to help his shoulders for baseball. He had changed just like instructed and sat down on the mat before following the given instructions. All breath out... shut your mouth....deep breath in... he lost count. He truly hoped that nothing bad would happen for not breathing directly to the counts. With each deep breath in and out he found himself relaxing more and more. He wondered if that was the point.

Great does this professor want me to have a nap because these squishy mats and comfy clothing surely are a great combo for it.

"as long as i don't snore it should be fine right?" he thought to himself as he followed the instructions and closed his eyes, opened his mouth and exhaled.

"whoosshhh"

He couldnt help but smirk because he didnt expect to exhale so loudly. "okay man keep it together"

Taking more breaths "one...two...three...four" he exhaled a little quieter now, time to hold his breath alittle longer..... once he finished holding in for the right amount of time he exhaled... was he supposed to open his eyes now, if they are kept close for any more amount of time he was surely going to go off to dream land.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Meditation was something that Dorian liked to do. It calmed him down and it refreshed his mind and although he sometimes forgot to meditate before going to bed he still catched up with it later on in the days. However, he had never heard of this meditation technique and the Ravenclaw was eager to try it out.

He sat down on his chosen yoga mat with his knees to his chest. For some reason, one that he could not answer himself, he preferred having the soles of his feet on the ground.

He closed his eyes and breathed in and out normally at first, getting accustomed to his own breathing at first. Then he took a deep breath in while counting to four. Then he held his breath for seven seconds before letting out his breath in a long eight seconds, feeling that this was making him feel slightly light headed.

Rubbing his eyes and forehead, Dorian tried again.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Jessa blinked at the man, openly confused by his address. Unbelievable, even when she wasn’t the one to raise the alarm. Briefly, the Ravenclaw turned her gaze to Derf, wondering why the man felt the need to go on about tea to her and her paying more attention....when she hadn’t said anything at all. Curious enough, with him addressing concerns she hadn’t been the one to raise, he hadn’t acknowledge the only thing she’d actually said. By all indications, Professor Davis had ignored her request.

While she had raised her hand, no words had been spoken on the matter from her lips. The suggestion that should she have taken a closer luck she’d have seen was now impossible with the table made invisible. For all she knew, he could be lying or trying to lower them into a false sense of security. No way of knowing now.

His explanation on his throat almost got a raise of her brow, but her expression remained largely impassive. If he was sick with a sore throat, there were potions he could take that would fix it without him having to sip tea. It was a flimsy excuse at best, one she didn’t think would stand with the Headmaster so it was of little more assurance than the Ancient Runes Professor’s “promise”.

The Head Girl wasn’t sure what to make of any of it. Did that mean...it was okay.....?

With no real indication of what was now acceptable and the lesson beginning, Jessa simply took a seat on a yoga mat by the back, still in full uniform as neither Professor had told her no. At this point, she doubted she’d be able to have a calm mind from meditation but she closed her eyes all the same. While there was no altered breathing on her end, she did her best not to zone out as she was more apt to do when these sorts of exercises began. Not an easy feat with your mind now buzzing.

Arithmancy and Ancient Runes were a very weird combination of subjects. And what was even weirder were the mats. Yoga mats.

They were going to do YOGA.

It....... was weird.

Lucas adjusted himself slightly on his yoga mat. His outer robes were covering the rest of the mat from when he'd sat down and taken it off but he..... was sitting in his athletic gear. And it wasn't..... bad until the Head Girl, Derf and the Ravenclaw Prefect were talking to the professors about it and..... yeah. He was..... starting to feel uncomfortable.

He bit his lip and looked down at the mat while the professors talked. There was mention of...... uh, breathing? And meditation? And being relaxed, which he definitely wasn't right now. Maybe he should just.... leave. Yeah. Could he do that? Could he hide in his bed for the rest of the lesson?

But his eyes were starting to close and he was..... breathing. Or trying to breathe. There was a big whooshing sound as he exhaled for..... eight seconds, was it? That felt like a long time. He closed his mouth and inhaled as much air as he could for four seconds..... and then held it there.

For seven seconds.

Which felt like a really long time to hold your breath.

..........

Was this...... helpful? Because it was going nothing for removing stress from his mind. His mind would clear for a few seconds and then go straight back to the tea and the uniforms and the imagery of the Headmaster bursting into the room and.......

....... His eyes snapped open.

This was hard. Very hard.

Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.

Kaitlynn took the position on her mat near the back and she had changed, only because doing yoga in her skirt didn't seem very ladylike. She didn't have to wear her uniform during S.O.R.E's so she tried to justify that this was something similar to that and not an act of rebellion. She had seen how Jessa, Juni, and Derf all hesitated at the door and it caused a knot in her own stomach. She knew it had to be stressful to be walking on such egg shells. Especially after sight of the tea cart and tea before at least one of the items had disappeared. She tired to get her brain to focus on the words coming from Professor Davis, but it wasn't easy.

She wasn't sure how this was going to relieve any anxiety or stress in anyone here, but she let out all her air through her open mouth and then through her nose took a four second long breath in, held it for seven seconds and then wooshed out for the eight. She didn't feel any less tense and she began to fiddle with the rubber band on her wrist. She repeated the actions again and still...tense as she could be. She did it again two more times only because she was participating the best she could in class. She just sat there after the fourth round eyes closed waiting for the next set of instructions.

Apparently the Head Girl wasn't comforted by her words and if anything she'd just made things worse and Katrina had forgotten truly how very literal Ravenclaws could be. She closed her eyes a moment, breathing in, breathing out. Yes, they could charm their uniforms to be more efficient. "You have my word that changing into athletic gear during the lesson is acceptable, provided you're back in uniform after the lesson." Goodness. Is that what these kids wanted to hear? This was supposed to be about relaxing while simultaneously discovering certain poses as they related to numbers and posture and song.

She nodded though when the Head Girl finally took a seat. Even if she didn't approve of these methods, she should be expected to lead by example. And there were younger students already engaging in the breathing that Davis had instructed of them. Yes she wasn't quite sure why he was using the sore throat as an excuse for drinking tea, but she wasn't about to judge him or draw attention to it. Surely they could have pushed back their lesson plans a couple days had he desired? No matter though because hopefully these techniques would soothe his mind and body.

"Yoga has been used for thousands of years as a way to control thoughts and emotions, clear your mind, start anew. Becoming aware of yourself and your surroundings."

"In yoga, there are movements between poses that are called vinyasas. We're going to be shifting between a variety of poses today accompanying the 4-7-8 breathing technique." She stood from her mat. "Everyone on your feet. And raise your arms so your hands are about eye level, like so..." she demonstrated the first of the postures. "This is also known as the Fehu pose"

"Think of three runes... it doesn't really matter at this point what they are. And I want you to use the chart to assume the position and hold for thirty seconds before completing the 4-7-8 breathing technique that Professor Davis just mentioned and then shifting to a new position. You'll have fifteen minutes."



ooc: starting with a mini activity! So here's the deal, you'll have about 48 hours to complete this and catch up posts are more than encouraged!! Choose three runic postures from this chart here and have your character shift into those positions. You can use the Fehu pose as a practice. In between each, you'll use what Jamie posted about the 4-7-8 breathing technique. Any questions, VM / PM / Skype / ask me on twitter / etc ... have fun! <3

Honestly the sixth year had only reacted that way out of concern for her fellow student leaders, and the professors. She was luckily to not really have to deal with point docking for rule breaking. She was stressed out about it, and she couldn’t imagine the added stress of that. As for the professors, maybe she had jumped the gun with the whole thing so far. Empty cart or not. If the professors said it was fine it was fine. But she hoped that they would think about what had happened to the other professors who allowed rule breaking.

So with that Juniper went to the changing room to change. When she returned she stood up until professor Davis had told them to that they could sit now. She took a seat on the yoga mat, crossed legged. She was going to need tons of meditation to get through this lesson. Listening to the professors instructions. She closed her eyes, put her lips apart. Making the whooshing sound as she exhaled through mouth. Closing her mouth now she breathed in through her nose.

1..2..3..4..

Hold 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..

Exhale 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..

She repeated this four times, and continued to do the breathing exercises until Professor Sabra continued with the next part of the lesson. Rune yoga? Now that sounded like something fun. She continued to listen to the professor on what to do.

Getting to her feet she stood up. Raising her arms to her eye level and put her hands together. Just as Sabra had explained. So this was the fehu pose. She held that pose for thirty seconds, then the 4-7-8 breathing technique. Now she needed to pick three other rune poses.

People wondered why she was so insistent on rebeling. This right here was exactly why. The sight of something as simple as a tea cart absolutely should not give people cause for pause. Yet, here they were. Archer gave Derf a pat on the back and a small smile before entering the room, quickly changing into her workout gear (black yoga pants and a yellow tank top, the type of thing she wore for Quidditch practice), pulling her hair into a ponytail and choosing a mat as far from Professor Davis as possible. Not that she didn't like the professor or anything, she just didn't want to catch whatever it was he had. She already disliked the morning S.O.R.E exercises, she didn't want to have to try doing them sick.

Pretty soon, class was started and..."Good luck with that one." Seriously, that current state of things just seemed to breed anxiety. But she did as told, taking a seat on her chosen yoga mat, legs folded criss-cross style. Wait, had he just said to let their lips part? "Hope there's no flies in here..." she commented with her trademark amusement. Still, she did as instructed, whooshing and all. Then, she closed her mouth and inhaled to a count of four. And hold for...one....two....three....four....five....six....seve n. Then exhaling for eight seconds, and she didn't really feel any more relaxed. She completed three more rounds of the breathing to make it an even four and....still nothing. At least she hadn't swallowed any flies?

Thankfully, the class quickly moved on to the actual yoga portion. Which...she still didn't really get whatever connection this was supposed to have to Ancient Runes or Arithmancy besides the positions and stuff? Was this supposed to make the runes stronger or make them do something special or what?

Confused Hufflepuff here.

Standing on his yoga mat he listened to the instructions "okay more time for yoga" looking at the chart he looked for the ones that were the easiest

okay lets start with the one that looked like the beginning of the an old time dance. the Algiz... seemed pretty simple enough, he put his feet together and spread his arms in the air and did his breathing exercise, once he was finished he moved on to his next pose.

the Laguz, keeping his feet together he brought his arms down and angled them down to the floor closing his eyes he did his breathing... he could hear all the students taking their breaths and exhaling at different times, it kind of sounded like white noise, couldnt he just take a nap here... it would be perfect.. guessing no nap for him he still had one more pose to do.

the Perthro... sitting down he pulled up his feet so his kness where up and his feet planted on the ground, then his elbows on his knees this was a great end pose because he was sitting. breath CL breath....

he finished it off with 1..2..3..4.. Holding 1..2..3..4..5..6..7.. and Exhale 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..

opening his eyes he sat there waiting for further instruction.

Max wasn’t normally late. Scratch that, he was never late. There was a first time for everything though and today was the day.

He didn’t even have a decent excuse so he spent the whole frantic journey up to the second floor trying to think of one. He slept in? Nah. He got his timetable confused? Lame. He had a bad tummy and had been in the bathroom? Embarrassing! He was beginning to debate whether he should just skip class instead…. maybe that’d be easier.

He was here now though. And he didn’t want to get caught loitering about the corridors between classes.

Max took a breath and stepped into the classroom.

………….?????

“Uhhhhhhhhh…” Why were people wearing workout clothes? And why were they sitting on mats on the floor and breathing funny? His cheeks burned with embarrassment and he rubbed his forehead in confusion. He didn’t know when Hogwarts had started offering yoga classes but he’d obviously just walked in on one, oops. “I uhhhh…. I—I think I got the wrong room…. Sorry to interrupt, don't mind me……….” He sloooowly started backing away. “………sorry.”

Choosing one of the yoga rune positions the sixth year decided on the one for the rune Perthro. It was a sitting position, taking a seat on the yoga mat she bent her knees and put her feet flat on the mat. Then she placed her elbows on her knees and raised her arms up slightly.

Yeah… it think looked close enough. She held it for 30 seconds

1..2..3..4..5..
26..27..28..29..30

After the thirty seconds were up, she moved to a cross leg pos ition on the mat. She closed her eyes and exhaled from her mouth. Then she closed her mouth, inhaled and counted to four. Holding her breath for seven seconds and breathed out for eight seconds

Everyone seemed to be moving along with the activity fairly well and they still had about five minutes left. As his eyes scanned the room to make sure no help was needed, his attention was pulled to the late entry at the door. "Mr. Carden, how nice of you to join us. Please come in." Foster walked over towards the doorway so he could keep his voice low and not disturb the atmosphere. "Did you remember your athletic attire? If so, please head to the changing rooms then quickly choose a mat. If not, then you can do your best in your uniform. Either way, you have plenty of time to catch up." Foster pointed in the direction of the changing rooms then back towards a few of the unclaimed yoga mats on the far side of the room.

Quite honestly, he was sick of taking points away from students. It was obviously not helping or the young man wouldn't have been late to class. "In lieu of taking points for your tardiness, I'd like you to stay after to help clean up. Either that, or you may join me this evening for detention. It's your choice."





OOC: Keep up the great work! You still have about 24 hours before we move on. Catch up posts are always welcome.
