The truth is in your body, not the pose

How powerful! One of my precious special students closed their eyes last night after a courageous and dignified journey with cancer. Shelagh may you rest in peace and know that your beauty and love of life, friends and family will live on forever

3.9.2019: “Today is my Cancerversary. 7 years ago I opened my eyes from surgery and saw my husband ’s face. Instead of the smile I was expecting I noticed a tear rolling down his cheek. Instinctively I asked him “how did the surgery go?” As soon as he spoke I understood where his beautiful smile had gone. “Honey, you have cancer” were his words. When he spoke the words they seemed to hang in the air for a while. Then the words started to settle. Out of the air the words drifted and took a seat right in the center of my chest. We had been through so many problems with my health already. We held each other and cried. It was one of those cry’s that leaves you heaving for breath. Why me?! Why now?! My mind raced. Finally, after what seemed like forever, we started to take slow deep breaths together. Syncing our breath made it feel like we were one. Cancer had no chance at that point. Together we can do anything. Whatever Cancer wanted it could have. It couldn’t take “us” away from each other no matter what it took from me.”- Yulady Andrea Saluti
