Over the years, I’ve received many heartfelt emails and stories of transformation from students. I’d love to share one with you today from Marilyn — an amazing artist and person who wandered into my classes a few years ago.
Her story touched me deeply… and it might just inspire you too. I'm also sharing a few pictures of her art.
Stronger at 77: A Year of Transformation with TriYoga
Dear Kashi
I just checked my calendar and it has been a year in Feb that I started yoga with you.
It was a year ago I became aware, and shocked, that my body was declining in strength. I was 77 years old and I couldn’t get up off the sofa without using my arms to push me up, much less get up and down from the floor….my back often hurt in the morning and it wasn’t easy to turn over when lying in bed because I had so little strength. My left knee was very painful every time I used the stairs and limited my walking.
One year later….I am so much stronger and I feel more grounded in my body. I feel solid in my body….at home in my body. I now rise from the sofa or a chair using only the muscles in my thighs. I no longer have any back pain and turning over in bed is just not an issue, as I have gained strength in my core. Stairs and walking no longer cause pain in my knee.
Yoga and your teaching have changed my path from one of inevitable decline as I age, to one of gaining strength in my body and in my mind…and serenity in my Spirit.
I am so grateful to you and to the practice you teach, and I look forward to heading into my 80’s strong and confident in my body.
Thank you, Kashi !
