Case of the mysterious phantom yogi

Someone(s) did something nice last night. Nice for me -- or so, he/she thought. I distinctly saw one or two persons with yoga mats outside OmIm at the end of my 7pm class. I thought that they were waiting for the next class at 8.30pm. However, when I opened the door at 8.30pm, there was no one there. . . So I had an early night. ;-)

Perhaps you thought that to do me a favour and leave just because you are the only one(s) for the late class. However, let me affirm that I am prepared to teach all the classes as scheduled -- even if just one or two of you turn up. So don't hesitate to come to class -- it does not matter to me if there is just one participant or if there are 20. Yoga at OmIm is for you. If you have come down all the way to the studio, your body is trying to tell you: "treat me right! I deserve my yoga!"

The other possible scenario of course is the person(s) who came last night suddenly had some urgent matter to attend to and had to leave without attending class. If you need to pass a (non-urgent) message to me after class, you can always talk to the nice security guards at the front dest downstairs. I usually say goodbye to them before I leave for the day.

Anyway, to be fair to all parties, let's have a no-show policy: I will wait for 15 minutes into the scheduled class time -- if no students show up by then, then the class is considered cancelled. This also means: don't be late! If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will be likely missing out on your warmups or relaxation and will not be able to enjoy the full benefits of the class.
