This room, this hideous room, is the mostly unused Teachers Lounge.  But on Tuesdays, this room transforms into a lovely, peaceful and private Yoga Studio.  I teach Yoga to Pregnant and Parenting Teen Women here on Tuesdays.  It doesn't really matter how ugly this room is, we put down our mats, sit on our blankets and all we see is one another.  My student this week told me that she feels really stuck in her throat chakra - I had talked about chakras the week before.  She feels stuck and she has no one to talk to.  I told her she could talk to me, or the Social Worker, or a school counselor.  I could tell by the smile on her face that she would talk to no one.  I hope, I really, really hope sometime soon she feels she can tell me what is stuck in her throat.  Or Mary.  Or anyone.  I hope she finds someone.
