The king of Thailand, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, died today at the age of 88. He is considered the father of modern Thailand and was one of the longest reining monarchs in the world - serving for more than 70 years. After being ill for quite some time, he passed away peacefully in the palace surrounded by family.
The nation is in a state of mourning for the loss of their King - he was very much loved by people. My heart goes out to everyone in this beautiful country.
I'll update the blog tomorrow with yoga stuff, but wanted to take this opportunity to honor the passing of the King and respect the loss that the Thai people are feeling today.
