“You are one of the gentlest, kindest, and truly skilled yoga instructors I have ever had. Over the past five years, I’ve had some interruptions in my practice. Each time I came back to your class, even though it had been a long time, you remembered me and welcomed me. Whenever I felt downcast or ashamed at having lost some of my skill in postures, you reminded me that yoga is not about judging yourself, and it is never about competition, even with yourself. And that has helped me continue with yoga, which I love so much.”
