Thursday night after class, Kelly handed me a small box of an eye cream and asked me to give it to another instructor that often teaches the same time slot. When I looked her in the eye as I took the gift, it just seemed like something was on her mind. (I picked up on this at the time, not in retrospect fyi).
I don't think giving things to people spontaneously was unusual behavior for her either. A while back she let me borrow a book by Thich Nhat Hahn, "Teachings on Love". She just brought it to me, I didn't ask to borrow it or even know about the book beforehand. I borrowed it forever. One time I apologized that I had borrowed it for so long, she said "just keep it." I finally got it back to her a few weeks later. (This also speaks to her being a spiritual seeker that asks questions and wants to know about the afterlife, but not in a morbid way). She always comes across as uplifting and positive.)
On the gym connection, I remember noting several times that she seemed to know a lot of different people there. She seemed to be in the loop with some body builder types. Always saw her talking to different people before the yoga class. There are some weight machines just outside the Mind Body studio, as well as some workout mats where people do crunches etc...
I've told all of this to the detective and family. I pray that revealing this information on here is productive. I feel a little strange about it, but I guess that's natural considering the terrible circumstances.
Thanks to everyone for keeping her in your prayers, etc.
