On Wednesday nights and Saturday afternoons, a small side-room of the community college gym was reserved for an hour of yoga with resident bean-pole and occasional furry Lily Babineaux. Her set up was a simple one--threadbare mats in various dark colors on the ground, something low and guitar-based playing from a speaker and her phone in a corner. With the curtains drawn, most of the mood lighting came from the shimmer of a glittery red lava lamp, motes of light floating around the room like low-budget flickers of a flame.
Lily herself wore skintight clothes in all black, dark hair braided and her bangs pinned up, sitting cross-legged on a purple mat at the head of the class. Except for the nubby horns at her hairline, she might have appeared completely human, but her regulars knew better that in about two weeks she'd be complementing her gothy look with a set of rounded fisher ears. One eye fluttered open sleepily as each student again, and every so often she would adjust her seat.
"Alright, kids," she began, reaching for her phone to dial down the volume. "Pick a mat and get cozy, we're about to get this s**t started."
Quote: This is an open thread for anyone wanting to interact with Lily at one of her classes, so feel free to hop in whenever! Like with any DRP, just title your instance in bold at the top of your post so I can keep track <3

Pose-ter Boy (saturday afternoon)
"Nah, dude, you're fine," Lily wheezed, unraveling from the same pose herself. "You gotta walk before you can run with eight-angle, it's actually really tough." She reached for a foam block at the edge of her mat and shuffled over, placing it under his hips for cushion.
"Lower your weight on that a little," she said, pressing lightly on his top hip crease to guide the movement. "Poses like this are powered by your abs, so you're gonna want to pull from there more than your arms. If your abs hurt? Then you're doing it right."
Straight-faced, she poked him in the soft flesh of his side.

Inflexible - Wednesday Night
"Hammies, short for Hammie-strings," Lily nodded, "They're that big muscle on the back of your upper leg, and it hurts like a b***h if you mess one up."
"Toes first," she added, and with an exhale she folded at the waist, bending her knees to show her. "It's more important that you feel the stretch in your lower back and your legs, you don't wanna lock up your knees and end up passing out."
"But we'll take it nice and easy through class today, work towards getting all that tension out," Lily said, rising to a standing posture. "Is this your first class?"
demon_pachabel Lily is delighted, Ashdown needs more noodle girls

Fabulous and Flexible - Saturday Afternoon
After parting ways with his parents and their money, Elliot had been forced to give up more than a few of the creature comforts he'd been accustomed to. They'd moved to a smaller condo, one they could actually afford, and he'd put his thoughts of college aside to get a job. His clothes weren't as fancy anymore, either, and almost never brand name—not that it stopped him from looking his best in public, of course.
What hadn't hit him quite as hard was moving his yoga sessions home, without the aid of an instructor. Still, he'd missed it, being the social butterfly that he was. Now that they were more stable, he signed up for classes again.
Lily might recognize him as the boisterous blonde who'd been coming to both of her sessions religiously for about two months now. Like always, he picked one of the dark purple mats and looked exceedingly pleased about such a small feat.

pose-ter boy (saturday afternoon)
He tried to follow her movements, Lily's hands helping to steady him a little more than if he had just been doing this on his own. Nathaniel wheezed out, "I think everythin' hurts right abou' now, not gonna lie. This is tougher than I thought yoga would be, t'be honest."
The poke to his side made him let out a squawk, and then the entire pose collapse, Nathaniel crumpling to a heap on the mat. He let out a laugh, straightening, and peered over at Lily with mock accusing eyes.
"Excuse you, ma'am, I don' think that's how it works, either."

"Helloooo, darling," he responded with boundless enthusiasm as he melted like butter straight to the mat, legs loosely crossed. It took no effort for Elliot to fall easily into conversation ninety-nine percent of the time, but when it was about something he enjoyed, it was impossible to shut him up.
"You know, on the way in I thought 'today feels like a balance sort of day,' but now that you mention it, my hips are feeling a bit tight. Fell asleep on the floor with the dog last night, can you believe it? All night on my side on the floor. I felt damn near sixty trying to get up this morning."
