We are working hard, enjoying our classes and learning a lot. We are thinking of you daily and remembering many moments of learning from you. The many words of encouragement, the clear guidance to better practice and better teaching, your inspiring and dynamic presence and wonderful smile. You helped us believe that we could do more than we thought we could, and so we did.<BR/><BR/>We hope your days are filled with family and friends, laughter, and beauty. We send love and healing energy and many thanks.<BR/><BR/>With love and appreciation,<BR/>Nina and KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786473419209491646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096966902480269086.post-80624596232628289652008-08-13T14:24:00.000-04:002008-08-13T14:24:00.000-04:00Dear Dear Mary,As always, your messages and words ...Dear Dear Mary,<BR/>As always, your messages and words make me feel cared for and nurtured. And I wish to give something beneficial to you!! I am currently at a place called the Ananda Ashram, taking morning classes with a Dr. Ram Sharma, who is so well seated in his knowledge of Sanskrit and the texts. He recalls passages from the Bhag. Gita and the Yoga Sutras with the same ease that some of us recall the Cat in the Hat or Winnie the Pooh!! Today there was a most interesting talk on Satya, coming from Sat (that which is). Satya means absolutely not deviating from what truly is. This all in relation to the Mundaka Upanishad. (Mundaka means "shaved head", a renunciate). <BR/>As always, please know that I think of you every day, and Tony sends you his very best wishes, and Charlotte a divine Woof.<BR/>Love,<BR/>LeslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482720587053757486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096966902480269086.post-4591181703952934092008-08-12T14:16:00.000-04:002008-08-12T14:16:00.000-04:00Dear Mary,It is always so easy to hear your voice ...Dear Mary,<BR/>It is always so easy to hear your voice come through in your blogs. It makes me smile. I miss hearing your voice in person, but your blogs are almost as good. I am glad to hear that you are doing better. I think of you often and I send you many prayers of warmth and light. And, I send much love to you as well. With great hopes of hearing continued updates of well being I send warm regards,<BR/>ArethaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034089170617024372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096966902480269086.post-53962714849505729272008-08-11T21:34:00.000-04:002008-08-11T21:34:00.000-04:00Mary:I trust you are surrounded by the arms and lo...Mary:<BR/><BR/>I trust you are surrounded by the arms and love of your family. What could be more lifting and healing? <BR/><BR/>I'm going to take this opportunity to express my thoughts even if a public blog isn't my first choice. I join a large group of students who are lucky to call you their teacher. It is largely because of your unwavering commitment, your clear boundaries, gentle insistence and determination that I forge a path deeper in the folds of the Iyengar community. Your direct words at the beginning of my journey clearly stated the expectations. I knew what I had to do and it was up to me. Just a few potent words sunk deep and struck soundly. I hadn't had a positive teacher/student experience prior to joining the training program. I had my fears. It is solely due to your recipe of a cup of clear boundaries, a 1/4 cup of unspoken expectations, a tablesppon of encouragement and 4 cups of generosity that illuminated this path of yoga. I am deeply grateful. It goes beyond yoga and yet it is all yoga. <BR/> <BR/><BR/>Keep eating that Slippery Elm. <BR/><BR/>love,<BR/>JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09561299335180280357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096966902480269086.post-79384927173594266352008-08-11T21:20:00.000-04:002008-08-11T21:20:00.000-04:00Dearest Mary: Thoughts and prayers are with you a...Dearest Mary: Thoughts and prayers are with you as you spend healing time with family and friends. Called my mom with your latest news and information about the Saturday evening on-going supportive practice at the NY Institute. We're both joining this in our own time (she on west coast time and I before my husband gets home for dinner).<BR/>A small note that I've written a song for you... all those years of piano lessons and singing in a church choir lead me to composing not only songs for my Kids' Yoga classes, but now to a song dedicated to my very best teacher -and that would be you! Sorry I can't sing it on the blog. It's three part harmony, with melody, accompaniment, and descant (those really high notes). Here are the words:<BR/><BR/>Oh, my teacher, you are with me;<BR/>Your seeds planted deep in my heart;<BR/>Oh my teacher, light on my life, your words guide me right from the start;<BR/>We are truly one in spirit, joined together, ne'er to part.<BR/><BR/>Blessings, light, peace, and love,<BR/><BR/>Janna and JoannJon Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954684420360934393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096966902480269086.post-27829453399040143802008-08-11T14:05:00.000-04:002008-08-11T14:05:00.000-04:00Dear Mary,as you take your walk along the Hudson R...Dear Mary,<BR/><BR/>as you take your walk along the Hudson River, there are many footsteps following along, many paces matching themselves to yours, many ears leaning in to gather your words of wisdom, about Iyengar Yoga and about life.

Aug. 9 in Augusta, GA. It was lovely and well-planned as one would expect from Avis and Peter. All send love to you. 11 Atlanta Shufords were there so you know things were spirited. Parmalee is planning her wedding for Jan. 3rd in Atlanta so she and Helena were taking notes. She is to be in a wedding next weekend 8/16 at a castle? on the Hudson. David and Helena are going and would like to stop by to say hello to you if you will be up for that. You know that Barbara and I were hoping to visit you this coming week but with Roger and Eliz.
