Remembering Thom

Our tribute class to Thom Birch was held at the Yoga Center of Columbia on Tuesday December 19, 2006 with 12 in attendance. Some were my students from around the area, some had never taken Ashtanga Yoga before, and a few who could not attend at all sent money anyway but all were happy for the opportunity to use their practice to honor a man they had never met in order to raise money for a worthy cause - autism research. We raised about $300 (I don't know the exact total, they were still counting as I was straightening up) and a good time was had by all.

Thom lived his life in service to others; I hope to do the same.

May all beings be happy and free from fear!
