“ That’s a wonderful interpretation of the locust pose, dear.”
“It’s a variation…”
“I can see that. Is it just chance or are you wearing shoes to do yoga?”
“ No no – it’s deliberate. They weigh me down.”
“ Hmmm – I’m most intrigued by the kilt though. Kills those inverted poses.”
“ The shoes help with that. Antigravity.”
“You’ve lost me there.”
“I’ll find you. Inside this piano is a kilted yoga class where kilts defy the laws of gravity.
“ But you’re only half inside the piano dear.”
“ Precisely – that’s why I need weighted shoes.”

97 words – fits into the Friday Fictioneers 100 word requirements.
I loved this photo prompt and all the brilliant interpretations other writers have given it. I thoroughly enjoyed writing this.
This is a work of fiction and not a serious yoga pose. Please do not try it 😀

I can see that a kilt would put the kabosh on inverted poses…at least I’d hope so! Welcome to the Fictioneers, where you’ll find poses and posers of all sorts. 🙂

poses and posers? I like that. Thanks for your welcome 🙂
This is an inspiring blog, one of my good friends is a yoga instructor in Portland Oregon. Do You teach, practice or study?
Thank you – glad you liked the blog. I’ve practiced yoga for many years and now, after studying it am a yoga instructor.
That’s awesome!
Dear Kalpana,
Welcome to Friday Fictioneers. It’s a great place for networking and meeting other writers. Also it’s a wonderful exercise in brevity. Weighted shoes?
Shalom,
Rochelle
🙂 weighted shoes – yes. I loved Friday Fictioneers – the ideas, the encouragement and the fun bubbling up all around. I can’t wait till next Friday.
