As everyone would expect of such an amazing woman with an incredible life force, she fought until the very end and surrendered in a beautiful way. Thank you for all of your love, positive energy, thoughts and prayers as they have been very helpful and meaningful.
Her wishes are to be cremated and not have a traditional funeral service. Instead, there will be some events in the coming days and weeks and we will use her blog to update you with additional information as things are planned.
Summer’s teacher, Pema Chodron, requested that for the next 49 days (today being day 1), whenever any of you think of her, do Tonglen for her. Breathe in any fear and confusion that arises and send out to her relief and happiness.
As our friend and teacher embarks on her next journey, we know that she is always here with us and will forever remind us to dance and love to our fullest potential.

"It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before, to test your limits, to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
My heartfelt sympathy to Summer's family and friends. Though I never had the privilege of meeting Summer in person I have come to admire her strength, courage, love of life and determination through her good friends at Yoga Vista. She will be missed by all. Namaste, Tammy Carr
