Gentle Russian gymnast prefers pleasure over practice.
For a girl with nearly three years of yoga practice, the nickname “Kiselka” isn’t ideal. She doesn’t dwell on it, knowing such worry is pointless. The real twist comes when I return from university to fetch my sister for our planned nature outing, only to find her yoga schedule conflicts. Returning to the room moments later, I discover her in a private moment, seeking my assistance. Aiding a sister in need is never wrong—it’s a virtue.
