Student thanks her teacher

By: Marty McLaren

Dear Margery [Erickson],

Just a note to let you know that you’ve made a difference in another life. About a year and a half ago my husband and I took your T’ai Chi Chih class in Hanover [PA]. We really enjoyed the experience. We did it together regularly for about eight months, then life got hectic and we began to let things slide to the back burner. After throwing my back out twice this summer, I got out the video tape we got from you, dusted off the sheet listing the moves and have started once again to feel the benefits. For that I thank you.

Sincerely,

– Marty McLaren
Student of Margery Erickson

Topics: Daily Practice, Gratitude, Injury and Recovery, Personal Stories, Videos and DVDs
