Old Lady Gang

Jean, a known character at the beginning of class, makes a loud statement: “What race
was the substitute yoga instructor last week?”Pressing for an answer from the teacher, who
proceeds to state the substitute was also a qualified instructor. Walks off. Jean returns to
Her mat irritated. Her fellow grandmother gang glared at the instructor. Halfway through
The flow, when bodies are limber, and the room is humming with energy. Liz loudly states to
The whole class that she has not been able to understand anything the instructor has done; she needs to change it now.

A heavy silence fills the room. Yoga instructors ignore it, but
The grandmother gang persists. She states in a loud voice that she is teaching the best she
can. The rest of the flow has a haze of negativity. People quickly gather their mats, leaving
out the back door. The old lady gang strikes again.
