Chapter 350: Yoga Class （1）

A sudden, loud knock on the door broke his concentration.

"Damien Sterling! Damien Sterling!" Emma Hart’s voice called out urgently from the hallway. She burst into the room, her expression and tone suggesting it wasn’t an emergency, but something pressing nonetheless.

"What’s going on?" Damien asked, looking up from his book.

"Well, there’s something I want to discuss with you," Emma replied, scratching the back of her head sheepishly.

Today, a yoga studio in A-City was hosting a special session with a master instructor from India, specializing in partner yoga. Emma and her friend Amelia Davidson had planned to attend the class that afternoon. She had intended to tell Damien about it the previous night, but he returned home late, and she had already fallen asleep. This morning, it had slipped her mind again.

"Yoga?" Damien frowned, puzzled by the sudden interest.

"Yeah, since having our two boys, I’ve been struggling to get back in shape. Everyone says yoga is great for that and also improves your overall demeanor!" Emma explained, pinching the small roll of fat on her stomach.

"Yoga isn’t a bad idea, but it’s risky for you to go alone. Besides, is the instructor male or female?" Damien asked, his protective nature kicking in.

"Um... he’s a guy..." Emma’s voice trailed off, realizing her plans might be falling apart.

"If you want to practice yoga, there’s no need to go out. I can arrange for a private instructor to come here," Damien suggested.

"Really? When?" Emma asked, her eyes lighting up.

"Right now, if you want," Damien replied nonchalantly. For him, hiring a yoga instructor was a trivial matter.

"But... I already made plans with Amelia," Emma said, feeling a pang of guilt. She didn’t want to leave her friend hanging after making plans together.

"Invite her over here. Call her now and tell her to bring Logan Harrington along as well," Damien said, already dialing his assistant to prepare the yoga gear and find a highly qualified, experienced female instructor.

Following Damien’s instructions, Emma quickly contacted Amelia Davidson, changing their yoga class venue to the Sterling family villa and inviting her to bring Logan along.

Before making the call, Emma Hart was worried that Amelia Davidson might be upset, thinking Damien Sterling’s arrangement was over the top. However, Amelia was thrilled when she heard the news and promised they would arrive on time.

The yoga session was set for 4 PM. Two hours prior, Damien Sterling’s assistant, along with a team of workers, transformed the Sterling family villa’s rooftop into an exotic yoga haven. An hour before the session, the yoga instructor arrived—a graceful woman in her forties. Slim yet toned, she explained that she had been a ballet dancer before falling in love with yoga, which she had been practicing for over twenty years.

Around 4 PM, Amelia Davidson and Logan Harrington arrived at the villa. As soon as Logan stepped in, Damien pulled him into the study, leaving Amelia and Emma to change into their yoga outfits and head to the rooftop.

Amelia wore a white sports bra and pink bow-accented capri leggings. Her tall, curvy figure, swan-like neck, and arms made Emma envious. Emma, on the other hand, felt like a yoga novice, having only learned a few relaxation poses from her previous health coach, Ella Moore, a long time ago.

Upon reaching the rooftop, Amelia was awestruck by the setup. "Wow, Emma, you really are living the good life!" she exclaimed, playfully bumping Emma with her hips.

Emma smiled sheepishly in response.

Gentle guzheng music began to play, and a purple lace curtain was lowered to provide partial shade. The elegant yoga instructor ascended to the highest part of the platform and took her seat.

"Now, let’s choose the most comfortable seated position and begin today’s yoga practice while listening to the soft music," the instructor’s voice was soothing and sweet, captivating everyone.

Emma glanced at Amelia and the instructor, marveling at their physiques. She couldn’t help but reflect on the differences in their bodies, despite practicing the same discipline.

Meanwhile, in Damien Sterling’s study, he and Logan Harrington were deep in conversation.

"Bro, I never realized you were such a wife-doting maniac, just for her to practice yoga," Logan remarked.

"Of course, I spoil my woman as much as I can. Now, let’s get back to the main topic," Damien replied with a grin.

"..." Logan didn’t want to continue the previous discussion.

"You might want to have a secret wedding, and I don’t object to that, but you need to know it’s dangerous," Damien Sterling cautioned.

Yesterday, Logan Harrington had inadvertently let it slip in Damien’s office. While the conditions set by Mrs. Harrington were not surprising, Damien found Logan’s approach risky. Mrs. Harrington was not an ordinary woman. If Logan pushed her to her limits, she wouldn’t throw a tantrum; she would make sure the person responsible regretted it deeply. If Logan insisted on this path, the worst outcome would be losing everything for both him and Amelia Davidson.

The rich aroma of mocha coffee filled the study, meant to invigorate, but it failed to lift the somber mood.

The two men sat in silence, facing each other. Occasionally, Logan closed his eyes, trying to escape the gravity of the situation.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the Sterling family villa, the yoga instructor’s guidance was impeccable. Emma Hart, a beginner, and Amelia Davidson, an advanced practitioner, were both getting individualized attention. Despite the difference in their skill levels, the instructor patiently guided Emma, helping her understand that yoga was about stretching her body naturally and maintaining a steady breath without forcing herself.

Emma quickly absorbed the lessons and made rapid progress. From the strenuous Downward Dog and Warrior poses to the relaxing Butterfly and Beginner Fish poses, and finally the Yoga Nidra relaxation technique, she mastered them all impressively.

Amelia watched with admiration, realizing she needed to step up her game to avoid becoming obsolete.

"Alright, that’s the end of today’s session. Thank you, everyone," the instructor said, bowing with hands in prayer.

"This instructor is really good! Hey, do you think we should bring Logan Harrington and Mr. Sterling to join us next time?" Amelia suggested.
