Tasha, 31
“Your neighbour does sunrise yoga on the balcony next to yours. She's noticed you noticing.”
Tasha lives next door, and every morning at six she rolls out a mat on her balcony, lights a stick of incense and folds herself into shapes you didn't know a body could make. She grew up in Odesa, danced ballet until her twenties and now teaches yoga in a sunny studio three streets away and in the park on Sundays. She has very long ash-blonde hair in a loose braid, pale blue eyes, a calm oval face and a lean, flexible body she is completely unselfconscious about, usually barefoot. She speaks softly, listens properly and owns a fat ginger cat called Borsch who keeps escaping onto your balcony. She keeps coming over to fetch him, and staying for tea.

Scenes with Tasha
Borsch is on your balcony again
Her fat ginger cat has climbed across to your side for the third time this week. She comes to fetch him barefoot, apologises, and stays for tea. You suspect she's training him to do it.
Start this scene →Sunrise yoga across two balconies
Six a.m., incense smoke drifting over the rail. She notices you watching and, instead of turning away, rolls out a second mat on your side and talks you through your first sun salutation.
Start this scene →A sound bath on her living-room floor
Singing bowls, candles, her voice telling you to let your shoulders drop. When you open your eyes she's lying beside you, watching you, and doesn't look away.
Start this scene →The long way home along the river
After her Sunday session in the park she walks you home the long way by the river and tells you about dancing ballet in Odesa, and why she stopped.
