The first few movements were indeed very basic and normal.
"Start with Mountain Pose. Stand with your feet together, big toes touching, heels slightly apart, thighs engaged, tailbone tucked down, chest lifted, and shoulders back." Draco corrected. Hermione learned quickly, and Trillian managed to stand up with some difficulty.
When it came to " Warrior I Pose," Draco turned to demonstrate, stepping forward with his right foot, bending his knee to ninety degrees, kicking his left leg straight back, and raising both arms overhead with palms facing each other.
"Keep your hips straight, don't roll your hips. Look straight ahead and keep your eyes fixed." Hermione followed Draco's instructions, her movements possessing an even more feminine grace and beauty Draco's.
On Trillian's side, the problem arose. Her right foot didn't extend far enough, causing her front knee to go past her toes and her back leg to bend. Her entire posture was loose and unsteady. She tried twice, her body swayed, then she stopped, turned her head, and looked at Draco with a pitiful expression, seeking help.
"Young Master... is my posture correct? I feel like my thighs are unsteady... could you come and help me adjust it?"
"Practice by yourself in front of the mirror, imitate Hermione's movements. She's the perfect example; look at her, don't always think about slacking off."
Draco didn't even turn his head as he spoke; he was standing behind Hermione, adjusting the angle of her arms as they stretched backward.
Hermione's here! This little thief wants me to give a public "hands-on tutorial"? Is he trying to get himself killed?
"But Hermione's pose is so perfect, I can't do it!" Trillian did a Bound Angle Pose, the posture was very wide and open, "Look, am I not flexible enough?"
" Trillian!" Draco's eyes were full of threat as he warned, "If you don't train properly, believe me, I'll throw you out!"
Knowing that this path was blocked, Trillian changed tactics and turned to Hermione for help. She gently tugged at the cuff of Hermione's sports cardigan, "Madam, could you talk to the young master for me? He just said he would teach me... but now he's ignoring me."
Seeing Trillian's frail and helpless appearance, and remembering that Draco had indeed promised to teach her, he said, " Draco, she doesn't seem to be doing very well. Could you give her some pointers? It's just yoga after all, don't be too harsh."
Hermione spoke, Draco lowered his arm. He walked to Trillian's side, his movements very professional and restrained. He didn't use his hands to support her waist or legs, but instead gave verbal instructions first:
"Step your right foot forward about half a foot's width. Yes, press your heel down hard and straighten your back leg."
After Trillian did as instructed, Draco used two fingers to point at the outside of her shoulder blades, helping her adjust the direction of her shoulders. "Shoulders straight, don't turn to the side. Okay, hold."
Throughout the process, his fingers only touched safe areas such as the shoulder blades and the outside of the elbows, and as soon as he finished adjusting, he immediately withdrew his hand and returned to Hermione's side.
After this brief incident, the course continued.
Draco began teaching some slightly more advanced poses, such as Revolved Triangle Pose, Half Moon Pose, and Camel Pose.
When Hermione got into the Camel Pose, she realized something was wrong.
The movement requires kneeling on both knees, grabbing your heels with both hands behind you, then pushing your chest forward and upward, and tilting your head back.
"Push your hips forward, don't sit on your heels. Lift your chest and relax your head back," Draco instructed.
Hermione tried her best to do it, a pose that completely exposed her chest and abdomen forward, bending her body backward into an arc.
She felt her body exposed beneath the tight tank top, and Draco was standing less than two steps behind her. She could feel Draco gaze fixed on her.
This made her cheeks start to burn.
Moreover, the more she did these actions, the more ashamed Hermione felt.
Next is the Pigeon Pose variant,
Draco had them first do Downward-Facing Dog Pose, then step one leg between their hands, place the lower leg horizontally on the mat, extend the back leg straight back, fold their body forward, and bring their forehead to the ground.
"If you feel tense, you can put something under your front leg's hip." Hermione did as he suggested and stepped her right leg forward.
However, her hips are quite tight, and when she leans forward, there is a stretching sensation in her inner thighs and hip joints. At the same time, this posture allows her to present herself to Draco in a very open manner.
This made her very uncomfortable.
In contrast Trillian really wanted Draco to look at her.
What drove Hermione to the brink of despair was a variation of the Bridge Pose. Draco would have them lie on their backs with their knees bent and feet flat on the ground, then forcefully lift their hips so that their bodies formed a straight line from their shoulders to their knees.
Then, stretch one leg straight up towards the ceiling.
Hermione lay on the mat, raised her hips, and then laboriously stretched her right leg upwards, an action that exposed her entire body.
Moreover, because the legs are spread apart
She felt extremely indecent at that moment, and she dared not think about where Draco was standing or what he could see.
"Keep breathing, don't hold your breath." Draco's voice came from above, sounding very serious, but Hermione always felt there was a hint of amusement in his voice.
She bit her lip and held on for a few seconds, but Hermione finally couldn't take it anymore. She put her legs down and collapsed on the mat, her face as red as a ripe shrimp.
"I... I can't do it anymore."
"Alright, take a break. For your first time practicing, you've done very well." A mischievous glint flashed in Draco's eyes.
Hermione sat up, grabbed a towel to wipe her sweat, but her mind was in turmoil: This yoga... why does it feel more and more like I'm being performed some kind of... shameful ritual for him?
"Young Master~ I can't hold on any longer, please help me." Trillian was still stubbornly holding on, maintaining that difficult pose.
Now Draco had no excuse not to help. Hermione had already stopped practicing; if he refused again, it would be seen as deliberate favoritism.
Draco walked behind Trillian and placed his large hand directly on the junction of her lower back and buttocks, pressing down forcefully.
"Straighten your back! Engage your core! What kind of posture is this, all limp and lifeless!" Trillian let out a soft moan.
Seeing Draco's hands roaming over Trillian's body, and the ambiguous distance between them, Hermione couldn't help but ask,
"Does yoga really include poses like this?"
"Yes!" Draco continued to reassure Trillian.
"Yes, there are," Trillian's voice trembled slightly, "And many poses require the teacher's help to adjust."
"But no matter how I look at it, something seems off. It doesn't look like a normal workout stretch at all. The movements aren't... elegant." Hermione stared at the two's movements, her sense of unease growing stronger.
"Yoga," Draco finally stopped what he was doing, "Was originally an India esoteric practice."
"Huh?" Hermione and Trillian were both stunned.
