I Brought Her Flowers - A tribute to my beautiful teacher Nancy Gilgoff

I met Nancy for the first time in November of 2016 at her shala, House of Yoga and Zen, on Maui. I was there for a teacher training co taught by Nancy and Manju Jois.

I wanted to make a favorable first impression so it was important that Nancy see me doing my best practice. I studied Ashtanga yoga for only 4 years at this time, so I was still in my infancy as a practitioner. I was especially excited to be learning from Nancy, a woman, who was the direct source of the lineage.
