My coach, killing it!
This is my teachers' teacher, Pattabhi Jois.
This week marks the seventh year of his passing. He died before I began learning his method.
I wasn't sure what to say to honor him, as he touched so many people directly, and yet for me, indirectly.
I didn't want to appropriate, and yet I am so inspired by his work.
When I saw this image, I knew what it was I wanted to say.
When I die, I hope it is my good humor that is remembered-- just like yours. Thanks, KPJ. I owe you one.
