After reading lesson one, I am reminded of the importance of lineage and information that is passed along from teacher to student. Roots are important as is context including regarding time and place. I was introduced to The Heart of Yoga, Developing a Personal Practice by T.K.V. Desikachar in my first teacher training in 2003, and I am grateful to continue on. I feel fortunate to have connected with Samata Institute, with Larry Payne at this time. I found out about this training at this time of Covid-19 after taking Larry Payne’s classes on-line through Yoga International. With this, lineage, and connection continues on. I am committed to continue to learn and to be there for those I teach, for those I have the good fortune to be connected to at this time and in the future.
