Here’s an intriguing (and, in my opinion, uplifting) article about Keith Erickson, a yoga instructor who recently learned he has Parkinson’s.
Two excerpts (my bold):
1.
“Hide it, ignore it, were my first reactions,” he admitted. But it soon became too obvious to ignore and students began to ask questions. He realized that honesty and full disclosure were the best ways to deal with his situation.
2.
Mr. Erickson is philosophical about the future, saying that when he can no longer teach yoga, he will find something else to do, perhaps in a place like Australia (his wife’s homeland), where health care is more affordable. He remains hopeful and optimistic: “This journey is a marathon and I am just getting started,” he says.
Keep on keeping on, Keith!
