Cindy and Leon had been together for years, they had put off their marriage for a nice house in a nice area. Everything was falling into place, they just needed some extra money to allow them to secure the wedding Cindy desired. To help Cindy was working as a freelance Yoga instructor to supplement her normal salary, she had covered a few sessions through a network she was part of enjoying the flexibility but the erratic income was hard to manage.
After a number of sessions covering at a local studio, she had found more regular work and had settled into the pattern. The more steady income was a help but the downside of the steady income was a lower overall pay cheque. As time went on she found her clients enjoyed her style and they often wanted private sessions, which paid more. Over time she had developed quite a reputation, only accepting private work once she had met people in her group sessions.
At the end of one of her sessions, Amy approached her, “Hi Cindy, I know you only usually take private sessions when people have been to a group class, but my boss… Adrian… he had an awful accident and his GP suggested yoga… he isn’t keen on joining a group class… would you… could you.. perhaps do some private work with him? I know it’s a big ask… but he is my boss I can vouch for him…” she said. Cindy took a moment to take it all in, she needed the cash but her rule was simple she liked to know people before doing private work.
“I’ll think about it,” Cindy replied, sympathising with his position but not sure she was ready to compromise. She thought it over for the next few days, seeing Amy at another class later that week she agreed, asking if she could ask Adrian to call her to sort out a date and time for the first session.
