I first found Syd, or maybe he found me, after a kundalini class at Benessere in Summit, NJ. I took a gold Syd home and he sat in my little yoga corner, and soon he began joining me while I taught yoga classes. The kids loved Syd and soon enough we started doing the Syd-asana, finishing the class seated in easy pose with a big thumbs up wishing a happy “Namaste!” If we have a new member in the class who is a bit shy, Syd sits with them for the first class and helps them become part of our yoga family.
