Band of Sisters

The group of eight students and two teachers, all women, with whom I did my yoga teacher training was such a special one. I still can't believe how amazingly we all gelled and bonded. It was a sentimental end to the program (though I'll still do one more post covering our final week--I'm so behind!), and one of the women recited for us these beautiful lyrics from the song "For Good" from the musical "Wicked." They were perfect for the occasion.

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

(I can't believe how glowingly white I look in this picture compared to everyone else! I've really gotten so much color in the past month, despite myself, but there's no way I ever could have competed with the dedicated sunbathing of these beauties.)
