Cleaning Bathrooms in the Yoga Studio

Kim and I worked for a yoga studio near our home. We knew the enormous benefits of practicing yoga to nurture ourselves as mothers. Looking back, we didn't know how important it would be to our future too. We've each had a kid or two since that time, and we thought we were stressed and didn't have time for ourselves then. We hadn't even started our business or working downtown. I don't think we appreciated the time we had.
The studio had a work-study program and you could either commit to working the desk for a couple of hours each week at a specific time or you could clean the studio space every other week. Wepreferred the flexibility of the cleaning since we never knew if we could commit to a specific time each week, it was all we could do to make it to the yoga class each week.
We found comfort in knowing we COULD be home with a sick child and not have to find a substitute to fill a time slot.
The cleaning job entailed vacuuming, the entire studio was carpeted, there was LOTS of vacuuming. We arranged mats and blocks, dusted and we cleaned four lovely half baths throughout the yoga studio. There were 3 different yoga studios and a nice reception area and retail space. It was certainly a place of peace and tranquility. The bathrooms were nicely decorated with beautiful artwork.
We had to scrub toilets so we could gain the benefits of a yoga class because we couldn't afford the classes. It was a lesson in humility and a challenge to be in the moment.
