Meda took a seat on her own mat and sat quietly as the students started to come. "Feel free to meditate until we get started. You can sit in lotus pose just as I am or stretch out your legs and get the blood moving around." She closed her eyes a moment to center her own self before focusing on each student that came towards the mats. SPOILER!!: replies Quote:

There was something peaceful about the newness of the day. Until people turned up and started ruining it. Ugh.
"Good morning, Professor,'' the Snakette said politely, her dark gaze already taking in the yoga mats. Opting for a maroon coloured mat at the back of the semi circle, she placed her bag on it then sat cross legged. She breathed in deeply.
Ah, yes.
So peaceful. She'd better enjoy it before the others showed up. Being quiet since it was just them two at the time Meda smiled, "Good morning, isn't it beautiful out this morning." The cool air felt so refreshing. Quote:

This morning Lisa still felt like she was asleep when she walked down the stairs from her common room. It was only when she walked outside that she woke up. WOAH! Who turned up the AC?!? It was CHILLY outside. Lisa shivered initially as she walked towards the agreed meeting location before deciding to slip on her mittens to keep warm. Ahh her fingers thanked her.
“Hello Professor!” she greeted as she cast her eyes around the set up. Yoga mats? She didn’t know HOW to do yoga. “Will there be a beginner’s section for the yoga class, Professor?” If so, she’d need it. She didn’t even know how to start. She knew yoga involved deep breathing buuuuuut the poses…. That required balance.
Lisa then quietly made her way over to an apricot coloured mat near Claudine. She’d need to ask her friend for help, she figured. Claudine looked like she was in the middle of something so she whispered a quiet. “Hi!!”
She didn’t want to disturb her. "Good morning. You don't have to worry about any yoga courses today. We are mostly using them for chairs, but you will see their true purpose here shortly. For now just sit and relax taking the beauty of the day in." Quote:

But the blonde wasn't one to show her grumpiness so she managed a little smile, "Morning, professor." She opted for a yellow coloured mat and sat down, her stomach grumbling a little. Ugh. UGH. This was so embarrassing!! "Good morning, thank you for joining me this morning." She hoped they all were enjoying this early morning. Quote:

Coming into the 'classroom' she waved to Lisa and Claudine before she chose a yoga mat to sit down on. Looking up and over at their professor Bella greeted with a tired smile. "Good morning Professor Euka, will we be scrying today?" "Good morning Bella, I hope you are ready for some fun this morning. No, not today, but I think you will have fun with this." She at least thought it would be fun. Quote:

He made his way down to the meeting spot, looking at his feet as he did so in order to avoid particularly deep mud holes. Upon arrival, he finally looked up, offering a quick, "Good morning, Professor Euka."
Pleasantries almost out of the way, he turned to see Claudine, Lisa and Val already all there and seated, and he gave them each a small smile and nod of the head. He opted to head towards a blue mat laid out on the ground, taking a seat and noticing it was next to Bella from the Mirror Maze. "Morning."
Should he take his notes out for this class? "Good morning, thank you for joining us this morning." Quote:
Originally Posted by Deezerz The only thing Serena liked about today's lesson is that it was outside by the lake on a chilly day. That was it. She shot the yoga mats a mean look as if they'd had offended her grandmother. Were they going to meditate? Meditation made her moody.
You know what didn't make her moody? Sitting next to Lisa. So went and claimed the other spot beside her since Claudine was on the other. "Hi," she greeted both. There was also Evan--she met his this past summer-- and sent him a polite wave.
Oh right.
"Morning, Professor." All the greetings. "Good morning, thank you for joining us." Quote:
Originally Posted by NiallNIP Quinn trudged up to the class, their feet falling heavily on the morning dew. They hadn't gotten much sleep last night—the due date for a long History of Magic essay they hadn't done was looming awfully close, and they didn't feel like stressing about it later... so they did the whole thing last night. They didn't even have to do it all last night, but they didn't have anything better to do, and once they started they didn't want to break the momentum and come back to it later, so they just pushed through and suddenly it was 5 AM and they realized they had class in the morning. Quinn ended up only getting two hours of sleep so that they could get ready and eat breakfast before class, but they were too tired to even properly get ready... they had their unbrushed hair in a bun so it wouldn't look as ratty, and they had heavy bags under their eyes. They ended up falling asleep at the Ravenclaw table right in their baked beans and had to go clean themself up in the bathroom.
All in all, not the funnest morning.
And they had to come outside for Divination today. It was chilly, so under their school robe Quinn wore a thick cardigan (that was for some reason softer and cozier than usual this morning) along with their purple and blue bracelets. They waved to the Professor with a yawn and walked over to a yoga mat, scanning the students as they did. There were a couple they knew personally, like Lisa and Claudine, but most they only knew to see. They at least knew Evan by name since he was in their House and all. Maybe they should get to know more people..?
Not this morning, though. They went over and kneeled on one of the yoga mats without many people around and relaxed with a sigh. Their eyelids opened and shut heavily until they finally closed, and Quinn's head rested on their chest. Just a little mid-morning nap. Quiet ones got a smile as they found their way to the mats.

She couldn't wait to see what they were going to be doing for the class.
Smiling at Professor Euka, she sat down on a yoga mat slightly ignoring everyone. Instead of greeting anyone she just waved at the people she was close to and sat beside what looked like Quinn because there was a very rambunctious younger student by Claudine and that was a hard no for Charlie when she just wanted to meditate. Another quiet one, Meda just gave a nod as she walked by. Quote:
Originally Posted by MadMadamMalfoy Heath made his way to divination, paying little mind to the wet grass. His cloak only just skimmed the ground, being a couple of inches too short for him, so he didn’t have to bother holding it up. One of the advantages of being tall, he supposed. As he approached, his thoughts turned to the last outdoor divination lesson he’d had, the one with snakes… and people being possessed by ghosts. Merlin, he hoped nothing that weird happened this time around! He did wonder what happened to Baby Yoda, the little snake he’d worked with that lesson, though.
“Hello, Professor Euka,” he greeted the woman politely. As his dark eyes scanned the area, he spotted a dark blue mat near Claudine, Lisa, and Serena. That was the place for him! He beelined in that direction, sitting on the mat with his legs crossed. “Hi,” he whispered, nodding to each girl in turn. "Good morning, lovely to see you today" Quote:
Originally Posted by sweetpinkpixie Guess who hadn't even started that History of Magic essay, Quinn? That's right. This Gryffindor who had just come shuffling through the door and found themselves a bit bummed that their best friend already had a very pretty older girl someone sitting beside them. But the good thing about this set up was that the OTHER side was still unoccupied and therefore he made a bee line for the yoga mat while offering the professor a spirited little wave.
Dropping his bag at the back of it, Atlas slipped off his shoes (because who wore shoes on yoga mats?!) and proceeded to lay down on their stomach. Mum was a yoga enthusiast but Atlas always saw it more as a nap time - something that was MUCH appreciated right now because it was too early to be awake. Atlas was not the best Divination student but he did apply himself a fair bit if for no other reason than it was fun to write home and tell dad about what he had learned and practiced and then receive return letters where the man was trying SO HARD to be encouraging but one could tell between the lines that he suffered so that his own son was showing an interest in the subject. All in good fun, of course.
"Hey," he greeted Quinn with a pat pat pat on their yoga mat. But then his arms were folding one over the other and his cheek soon lay atop the backs of his hands. "If anyone asks...I'm meditating in reverse Savasana." Seeing the wave she gave one back.
Shutting her eyes again she took a few long breaths before opening them. "Good morning. I hope you all slept well and are ready for whatever the day has instore for us all." Glancing over at the lake she took in the sun getting just a bit higher. "The beauty around us is always such a wonderful sight." Taking another deep breath she pulled her legs closer, "I brought out the yoga mats so we could have clear minds this morning, but a nice place to sit as well. We will be working on the ground for part of the lesson and these will be the perfect place to kneel, lay, or sit while you work." They were comfy enough at least for this.
[b] "Nature is one of my favorite parts of Divination. Nature can tell you so many things if you can just sit still long enough to listen. If you have a clear mind and a quiet body nature will sound louder than you have ever heard it, from the grass moving to birds chirping. "What I'd like you to do is take a few deep breaths, close your eyes, and just listen for a moment. See what you can hear."
Closing her eyes again she took a few deep breaths to show an example of what she was meaning. Though her breath was steady and her eyes were shut her hand was next to her with her wand, giving a small wave little boxes that were hidden near a tree opened and many harmless insects started to crawl around and on the yoga mats.
