Just a burst of gratitude

This is just a quick note.   Tonight during our Tuesday Night Class, I had the most amazing trip down memory lane.   Let me explain.

Part of the reason that I talk about the My Real Bodyoga classes being a community is exactly that, we really are.   More than a slogan, it is the way we are with each other. Though my classes are small, each member of the class brings and leaves something memorable in the session.  In the beginning, we start very differently than other yoga classes.  We know each others names. We know whose knees are sore, who is stressed from work, how many of use have pets and dread home owners association meetings.   

Tonight, as I was sharing with the class, the memory of all of the people that have been helped in the classes came to me.  People with anger and anxiety, cancer, death and divorce.  Marriages, births and job promotions.  Bodies that have gained strength and bodies who strength and beauty are growing more " real " , like the Velveteen Rabbit. 

Also tonight a former student stopped in to tell me that she would be back.  Just to check in and share a little more life together.  

The best part, is that my students know that I truly love them.   Each person I have ever shared the yoga mat with has given me a sense of love and self.  I look in their hearts and they show the beauty that is their life.  

The best part of my yoga practice is my students, every time. Moving together and finding joy together is the best that life can get. 

Just wanted to say thank you again, for allowing me to be your teacher.  Thank you for being mine!
