I learned yesterday that my yoga teacher, Judi Rice, passed away on December 12, 2014. She trained with BKS Iyengar, and I first met her when she taught yoga classes at the University of Louisville in the 1990s, and later continued to take lessons from her. She even allowed me to take a “yoga vacation” to Sayulita, Mexico with her, her students, and other teachers in 2009 when I wasn’t training with her. Though I no longer live in Louisville I think of her often, and she has been a big influence on me.
