I just wanted to say again how wonderful it was to hear you and Ana speak about Yoga on the Inside - A truly remarkable project.

It was wonderful to meet both you and Ana and to hear about the fantastic work you do. As a police veteran I’ve worked with the community for a long time, but you lit a fire in my belly to be more curious about what I can do to give back in a more meaningful and different way. Much Gratitude.
