A Yoga Poem

 

A Yoga Poem

 

Take a breath

Yes

Take another

but this time pay attention to your ribs as they expand
Gathering courage...

Feel how your entire body knits itself back together as you exhale
Healing...

You are connected to yourself

Always 

 

This is the part I love...

How you can control the rhythm,

or just breathe

and pay attention

 

Attention

 

Stand at attention

 

Ahhh...

Tadasana,

Mountain Pose

Like breathing

it can be simple

or complex

It is simple to stand
 or is it?

Do you shift your weight from side to side?

Where are your shoulders?

How does your neck feel?

There is so much to think about in such a simple pose

This is yoga...

Standing

breathing

simply being aware

 

Just be

and breathe...
