i’m so happy you had the opportunity to write with peggy during the “gathering in grace notes” covid days….and i hope you get a chance to read her book - if it weren’t on my kindle, i’d drop it off to you this afternoon!
I loved this so much!! Thank you to you and Margaret. I am going to check out her book!
I really resonated with these lines:
“Teaching yoga, for me, is storytelling. It’s a conversation between myself and someone else’s body.”
- As a student and teacher of yoga and writing, I just really appreciate this line.
“Many, many hours on the mat, feeling my poses from the inside, prepared me to lead others on that journey of self-discovery. I had to feel it first, then let it go to teach it to others.”
- yes, I feel this too. The other day I was reflecting how the courses or books I read on Yoga was not necessarily makes me a “good” teacher, but being a student of myself for many years on and off the mat (and still the curious student) has cultivated wisdom I couldn’t have learned anywhere else! It’s gold!
“A yoga practice or a writing practice is a discipline.”
“I have written about the people I love most in all the world—what a privilege it is to convey that love out loud.”
- Yes, I feel this too when I write about my dad and beloved cat, Jax, who have passed.
i’m so glad to know the ways this spoke to you, dina! and YES it’s in the being a student of ourselves that we cultivate our wisdom ~ to be quiet, to listen deeply, then trust what lies within 💛💛 i look forward to hearing the ways peggy’s book speaks to you 💛💛
