″I also would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoy your teaching. They say a truly gifted teacher is one that can read their students needs, even those the students themselves may not recognize. Needless to say I think you are a truly gifted teacher. Your calm and knowledgeable demeanor, along with your voice of gentle authority creates a simple and pure trust. I have learned more from you about yoga and my natural state in recent weeks than in the four years I have been practising yoga.″ Again thank you.
