Dear Yoga Teacher Tammy:<\/p>\n
Kindly be advised that your student Gary Kahn is not expected to be in class this week.\u00a0 He presented today at my medical office with flu-like symptoms.\u00a0 Gary is asthmatic so we must pay careful attention to his lungs.\u00a0 Since you are a yoga teacher, you should note that when the stethoscope was put up to his chest to check his lungs and he was asked to breath, he breathed through his nose.\u00a0 This is not normal as he must breathe through the mouth for this test; I do not know where he picked up this habit.\u00a0 He said something about pranayama, whatever that is.\u00a0 Anyway, please excuse him from any classes he may miss.<\/p>\n
In an odd request, Mr. Kahn did advise me to let you know that while sick over the weekend he watched a couple of documentaries about yoga.\u00a0 These yoga documentaries included appearances by BKS Iyengar and Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.\u00a0 He also watched the movies Seven Years in Tibet and Eat, Pray, Love.\u00a0 Thus while he cannot physically practice he is mentally trying to follow the yoga ideals.\u00a0 Personally, I think that he should let things be and not worry about missing classes and live by the American phrase, it is what it is, all is good.<\/p>\n
Thank you and we hope this letter brings you a little enlightenment of the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
