Dear Skills Attendees,
Thank
you so very much for attending this experimental course. We had a fantastic time, and hope that you enjoyed it as well, and learned new skills and techniques that will enhance your practice and life.
Please do let us know any feedback you have.
Riki
will soon be teaching a regular practice class (like a yoga class, but with the Kalari, Kushti, and training skills he teaches) at Eddie’s invitation.
Perhaps you could let us know: how often would you like to attend a class like this?
Once
per week
Twice
per week
Every
two weeks
As
well, does this same time of day work for you, perhaps one hour later? We are thinking to follow the one hour asana class with the Skills class.
Thank
you again, wishing you all the best, and thank you for your participation!
Yours,
Riki
and Eddie
