Dear Toni,
I wanted to express my deep gratitude for your teachings in our online Yoga with Seniors Class. The class was so inspiring and I learned so much - not only from the lectures but also from observing your teaching style. I really appreciate all the wonderful and informative resources that you shared with us.
Coming from a background of teaching only college students, trying to start a class for members of my family and community who are older and have different limitations seemed really daunting, but I wanted to offer something to bring us together online in the time of COVID and foster community while also making sure that I was able to offer safe teachings. Because of the confidence I gained in our class I am starting to teach this group regularly! I began by just offering online sessions to my parents (they were my guinea pigs during our practice teaching too) and am slowly adding more family members and will be adding their friends who are seniors too (it's an active older adults class). Teaching online is still a bit strange to me but so far it has been going well.
So thank you again for all that you shared with us. I hope for the opportunity to study with you again at some point!

Dear Toni,
I thought of what you give us each Monday when I received this quote from a friend today - love, a smile, calm and the promise of summer.
“In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invisible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm…In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.” - Albert Camus
Much love,
Gail
