Dear Mary,

Hope you’re having a good day! I just wanted to say how extraordinary my trip to Border was this summer and how much I appreciate you and Richard’s support and guidance. The experience of assisting on this group was great for me and taught me a lot about how to interact with students from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. I understand that the recent MeToo movement and the scandals in the yoga world significantly impacted many of us in serious ways, which for me personally, was not something I had completely understood until I was actually there. Regarding this, I wanted to let you know that I am open to your suggestions and thoughts on my approach to physical contact with students. I appreciate your efforts to protect myself and the other assistants from any potential repercussions of our actions.

Now that this trip is over, I have had the chance to reflect and consider my future and I’m considering a move to Boulder over the next period, slowing transitioning from early next year. I believe that this environment would be healthier and offer more suitable conditions for me to develop myself more deeply. I feel that Space Shanghai, Beijing and Taipei could work together more closely in the future and I just wanted to let you know that I have already had a conversation regarding this with Robyn and she’s excited about the possibility for the 3 of us having closer cooperation and my plans to move to Boulder.

As I mentioned to both you and Richard, I would love for us to get together for a private class if we find ourselves in Boulder or Koh Samui at the same time together in the future and if there’s any chance for us to work together, I think we can coordinate with Matthew and Robyn and make it happen!
