Dearest Kashi,

I am looking forward to our teacher training this weekend! Of all the systems I have studied and been trained in, this one by far exceeds my previous understanding of yoga. I revere the depth, accuracy, intricate details, importance of every single movement and transitions, and very distinctively the beautiful mudras.

I am also going to work on getting to class on time so that I can start having complete integrity in my practice and learn the nuances from beginning to end of a complete practice, while benefiting!

I am truly learning so much from this system of yoga. I am astounded by the nuances of what I feel and experience in my body. Last week in one of the long burning asanas (at least usually it’s an effort to stay in), I experienced a buoyancy which was beyond the body. This is where meditation, subtle inner energies, pranayam all come into play. I imagined that this was the magic unfolded in arts such as Qi Gong where people “fly” or jump to great heights to no effort. I suddenly realized that Levitation must actually be a possible practice. Something was holding me in place that was not muscle, but a deep lightness in my being that was steady and focused and open to divine energy.

Thank you. And then in last Friday’s class, I literally had tears well up in such deep gratitude. Seeing your beautiful loving face and eyes, the ease and peace in your presence where you meet me, the student, honoring my own divinity, seeing me with such deep love and care…. I had a surge of gratitude, such deep thankfulness for this incredible practice and the possibilities that lie within. I literally thanked God, Inner Guru, Buddha, Whoever was listening and all that is for that sacred awakening and the golden opportunity to be practicing right now in this moment. I felt all my Karma aligned to give me this gift and I even thanked whatever passed lives that forwarded me this wonderful gift of Karma for this practice, this Particular practice. Tri Yoga is an incredible and complete system which surprises me at every turn. I am literally amazed every class at what new, and not even subtle thing there is to learn! Yes, subtle wonders await at every class, but even the new advanced postures I have never seen are such fun surprises when you show us! You are a gem! I love you! I absolutely love this practice!

xo!
