5th of January - The Planet of Yoga

We landed a few minutes later. I was wearing my black yoga pants,a purple top I always wear for yoga and slippers. I was very excited. I love when he takes me to other planets. I ran to the door and opened it eagerly. But what I saw wasn’t too pleasing. It looked exactly like…

- An empty room- he said when stepping out of the T.A.R.D.I.S, examining the plain walls- Fascinating

-No it’s not, Doctor. Where are the yogis?

- Shh- he said putting his finger at his lips- Can you hear it?

And then I could hear a very quiet murmuring: ‘Ohmmm, Ohmmm’ I nodded. 

- LEt’s explore this place- he whispered. I nodded again and smiled. Then I followed him out of the room into another. It looked exactly the same as the previous one and sthe next one and the one after that: hazy and perfectly empty.And the ohmm-ing remained the same, too, quiet and distant.

-Where are these people?- I asked quietly and looked at him.

- I don’t want you scare you, Anna, but I think I managed to figure out what’s going on. - he made me really nervous. To be honest I was freaking out.- These are the sound of the souls.

- What?- I asked confused- I don’t understand you.

- What you hear are the souls of the yogis. This is the centre of yoga

- No, it can’t be, Yoga is from India, Earth.

it made him laugh.

- No, it’s not. The centre of yoga is in Yoganavarava, it’s been here for millions of ages. Everyone on this planet does yoga, and when they die their ‘ohmm’ing stays here, forever.

- wow, that’s creepy

- No, it’s beautiful.

- Yeah, I suppose so. But anyway, where is everyone? I mean people that are not dead.

- Outside, I suppose - he said with a smirk

- Then why are we inside of this creepy building?- I was a bit too loud but I couldn’t help,myself I was really mad.

- Calm down. We are going there right now, I just wanted you to hear this beautiful sound of the souls

And then we went out and entered a beautiful garden full of flowers and trees and millions of small, colorful figures doing something that looked like yoga. A very small green guy approached us and shook the Doctor’s hand.

- Hello Doctor, you’re back.- he greeted him with a very charming smile

- Yes, Trilomand, it’s always nice to come here. And this is my friend, Anna. She’s passionate about yoga.

He shook my hand, too.

- Would you like to joing us, young lady?

- Yes… if it’s not a trouble for you -I said nervously. I’m not that good at yoga. Well, I’m one of the clumsiest ones in the group.

- It would be my pleasure. - he said and lead me to an empty mattress.

He showed me many poses and asanas, some of them I’ve never tried before. Somehow my body felt much lighter here than at the earth, there might be some trick with the gravity here. It felt amazing. I lost track of time. It was almost totally dark when I realized the garden got empty, everyone else had already left.

- I’m afraid it’s time we left- said Trilomand - I hope you enjoyed this year

- Year?- I was shocked- no way

- It was a year for us, but for you it must have been just a few hours.

- Good.- I was relieved

- Did you have fun?- asked the Doctor who just turned up.

- Yeah, it was amazing, thank you for bringing me here- I said and hugged him. And what have you been doing?

- I went to visit an old friend. You should meet her, too.

- I would love to but I’m really tired and I have an invitation for a party tonight. I don’t want to be even more exhausted at the party.

- Cool, can I go?

- Well…- I  looked down. I didn’t want him to come, I love him and travelling with him is the most amazing thing ever, but  I’m afraid my friends wouldn’t appreciate him.

- It’s okay- he said smiling when saw my reaction- I actually am really busy.

- I’m sorry

- Don’t be, we had a fantastic day, didn’t we?

- Yeah- I said and smiled

- Let’s go back home! Bye Trilomand, bye Yoganavarava, you’ve been cool again.- and he hurried to the Tardis, I followed him.

I spent the evening at my friend’s and we danced and drank and talked. It was fun. I didn’t talk about my adventures, I never do .I want them to be just mine, something only I have. And I don’t want them to be jealous of me or… ask me to take them with us. Ugh, no.
