I’m so moved by this beautiful and thoughtful piece Ellen. I am also grieving my yoga teaching mum ❤️ She taught Iyengar yoga for many years before studying with Vanda Scaravelli. She was my first and only teacher and for years, when she was ill, I could hardly practise because it was too painful. Since she died in January I have found it a little easier to do it. But I’m still not ready to join anyone else’s class. I hope you can gradually reclaim the practice and manage to contain all it will bring
Thank you Sasha, and sending love to you and your yoga teaching mum. I’m heartened that you’ve felt able to practise yoga more recently - I hope I can do the same. Certainly feeling the itch to rekindle that connection with my mum - but I agree with you, not sure I’ll ever be ready to join another Iyengar yoga class x
