“Nicky Knoff and James Bryan, this long overdue message is to say thank you for my wonderful, life-transforming, introduction to yoga during your sojourn in Grand Junction. With affection I think of you as I do my hour long, home practice once or twice each week. The preciseness of your instruction awakened in me awareness of my body’s requirement for bi-lateral balance, disciplined asanas, focused breathing and meditative centering. Each home session is a blend of blend of sun salutations A and B and other asanas you taught and Hot Yoga/Bikram practices that I learned after you left Grand Junction. I missed working with you that last year in Grand Junction because I tore my meniscus and it took me 18 months to heal (and I was away a lot). Without the thoroughness of your initial instruction I would not have returned to yoga (because the other instruction that I have experienced is not sufficiently engaging). As I end my practice with a calm mind and a sense of physical and spiritual fullness and peace, you are in my thoughts.”
