here are some exchanges from my email box this morning…may reading it deepen your appreciation for the Teachers in all our lives…

Dear Coach –

I saw beautiful Kathy yesterday before Yoga with Trina. Trina is flowing beautifully these days.

� i shall pass the word to our beautiful Trina and my Beloved wife. thank you. yoga teachers don’t make much money, we have voluntarily chosen to help others instead of pursuing more moneymaking jobs…thus, when you pass on a compliment to our teaching…you are delivering us a most appreciated paycheck!

RE: Steve, I’m so exhausted. I’ve lost the desire to push myself. Yesterday i had a meeting in LA, drove home,changed, ran errands and fell asleep in the car. I awoke in time for 6:30 yoga class. I’m living in three different places. I’m behind with my paperwork so that I can help my parents. I need to help them, they’ve become so frail and disoriented.

� i understand.

this is your most important yoga right now; helping your parents by being present with them.

RE: How can we tailor my work out with this type of schedule? I want to begin my new program with enthusiasm an excitement, but I will feel guilty if I can’t give it a 100%

� excitement is a dis-ease.

equanimity is what makes a yogi.

life is full of up and downs

hard and soft

fast and slow

health and illness

having found samtosha (contentment) through meditation,

the yogi inhabits the place beyond the extremes of life

and smiles at the Lila (the Play of the Universe).

RE: If nothing comes of this discussion, at least i feel cleansed from admitting my shortfalls.

� you have no shortfalls

only teachings to learn

and enjoy

RE: My chi is low today. Perhaps it’s just a cyclic thing, eh?

I look forward to my SUNRIDER herbs and knowing that you are here to listen to me.

Thanks Steve. May your practice be strong and may you be blessed for assisting others.

� with students like you in my life,

how can i NOT feel Blessed?

in strength & spirit,

your coach
