Amidst our own grief and heartache, we haven’t been able to find the words to inform our community of the passing of not only a teacher we all knew and loved but our dear friend, Joel Pier.
Our hearts are beyond heavy as waves of immense sadness wash over us.
Please visit hot yoga Philadelphia Instagram, link on their bio to the service held tomorrow at 10am at the Philadelphia ISKON temple. As well as a memorial class they are offering next Thursday at 5:30pm.
We will hold two memorial classes in Joel’s honor this month, one at each studio. Dates TBD.
We are not taught how to grieve, or even to fully understand what it is. I asked a friend and they replied “Grief is just love that has no place to go, now that the person is gone.”
We are finding some comfort from Joel, even now.
“I am not this body, the self does not finish at the boundaries of the skin.” Joel Pier.
We will see you again and greet you with our smiling happy faces, until then we will do our best to “chant Hare Krishna and be happy.”
