Y is for...Yoga

"Red?" Lizzie called out as she stepped in through the front door of the large home Red was currently using.

Dembe quickly stepped into her line of vision and motioned for her to come to him. Lizzie shut the door softly and began to walk towards Red's trusted bodyguard.

"He is just finishing up his yoga session but you can go in." Dembe said deeply as he pointed to the closed doors to their right of them.

Lizzie sighed but nodded. Of course he does yoga she thought to herself.

Lizzie slowly opened the large door which apparently led into a dark, masculine style den. There she found Red in some sort of pose where his head was resting on his knee cap. Lizzie knew she hadn't made a noise but Red immediately noticed her standing behind him.

"Lizzie! Come in! We were just finishing up." Red said looking at her with a smile. Lizzie nodded and slowly made her way into the room.

"Lizzie this is Anzan, my yoga instructor for many years now. Anzan this is Lizzie." Red said as he introduced them.

Lizzie smiled at the man who had bowed his head to her.

"She's the one I was telling you about." Red said in a fake whisper.

Lizzie raised her eyebrow. "And just what were you telling him about me?"

"I was telling him that yoga would do wonders for you but he would have his hands full if he ever took you on as a student." Red said grinning.

Lizzie roll her eyes. "Haha."

"Thank you Anzan. Until next time my friend." Red said shaking his hand. Anzan nodded before giving Lizzie another smile and taking his leave.

After he left, Lizzie turned to Red who was taking a sip of water.

"Why do you think I need yoga?"

Red's eyebrows shot upward. "Lizzie you are a classic case for someone who needs to take up yoga. It would help your stress tremendously."

Lizzie smiled. "You know what else would help my stress? Getting rid of you. I was never stressed until you came into my life."

"Be that as it may, yoga is wonderful for not only relieving stress but also anxiety, depression, insomnia and back pain. It lowers your blood pressure and heart rate without needing to take medication. It also improves your posture, balance and strength. It's a wonderful exercise."

"But you're not sweating." Lizzie said frowning.

Red looked at her as he took a seat on the couch.

"Lizzie you shouldn't be sweating after doing yoga. It's not about burning calories. It's about taking control and having discipline over ones body and mind. It's not just a physical exercise but mental and spiritual as well."

"Ah." Lizzie said from her spot on the couch next to him.

"I'm meeting with Anzan tomorrow afternoon before I have to leave for Brazil. Join me for a session. I give you my word, you will enjoy it." Red said.

For a moment Lizzie thought he was joking until she looked at his face to see he was being dead serious.

"Sure. Why not?" Lizzie responded after several minutes.

"Excellent! Be here at four tomorrow afternoon."

Lizzie nodded.

Red then grinned. "And come dressed appropriately. A sports bra and a pair of those form fitting yoga leggings, both in white, will be just fine."

Lizzie blinked. "What?"

Red chuckled and gave her a wink before he took another sip of his water.

The End!
