for a while there have been some buzzing in the air, and just a few days ago I got the news it was sadly true.

I give my thoughts to a person I dont personally know, but know by word
a yogi in my country that have given many people joy & health, have inspired a lot of yogis & yoginis both at his own studio but also at retreats & festivals,
and for many years have been passionate about his yoga and his new better life.

I remember many years ago seeing him standing on the stairs at the exit from the subway giving flyers to everyone, I remember I thought he was a funny fanatic nicely weird man ha ha.
I am not sure when this was, I think probably in my early yogic years, and I had really not that much knowledge about other forns and yoga philosophy, for me then more just a curious feeling about something new and that I liked the way my physical body felt doing it.

we have had a few yoga practitioners comming to my studio lately that used to go to his place, I didnt really think to much about until I heard another person who came to us in another arend mentioning something how she was sad since she used to do her yoga with him, but now that place was just closed with no further info.
she didnt want to talk about it since talking behind someones back is not nice
I asked a teacher at my place wich teaches the same yoga form if she had heard anything about this? she said she had a new student from his place at her class, and she was gonna ask her.
it is good to know so knowing also how to react if someone comes from there, since it easily starts to come rumours about things

then in a just few days it all came out more & less "officially" I guess.
sadly his former life had caught up with him and it has gone so far that he is actually letting his dear studio go..
the good in all this tradegy is that he knows his dilemma and is getting help for it.

it feels really sad to hear that this yogic Icon has "lost the battle" and unfortunatly letting go of his passion..
I just hope he will win the fight for good this time and come back to inspire & teach again! I am sure many of his students/participants will wellcome him back with open arms to lead them further in their yogic journeys!
time will tell!

good luck!
