Imagine you were at a yoga retreat and you overheard David Swenson reminiscing with Beryl Bender Birch about what it was like when they were both studying with Pattabhi Jois in Maui in 1989…
This is the part of the story, where I’m supposed to tell you about how the clouds parted, the birds sang, and I fell in love with yoga. Truthfully, I hated literally every second of my first class.
The internet is filled with pretty pictures of shapely yogis doing poses in beautiful surroundings. And there is certainly a place for that in the blossoming conversation about yoga happening right now.
