Tuesday poem - Yoga

Stretch and breathe
Inhale
Exhale
And relax into the move
Let the world's worries slide off your downward dog
As lift your tailbone

Start the Sun A with a beautiful flowing bend
Then move sinuously into half plank, down dog, up dog
Don't forget to breathe
In through the nose
And exhale through the mouth

Jump your feet forward
Stand up to chair
And wrap left under right for eagle
.
.
.
Wait, what?

If you, like me, have been looking for some movement
Then a bit of yoga might seem like the best thing to do
It's gentle and flowing and calming and lovely
Until suddenly you're wrapped up like a pretzel
And the only reason you are holding your toes
Is because your children saw an opportunity to 'help'

Breathe in, breathe out
Try to let go of some of that other
It's never too late to bend and stretch
It must be doing something
Because I'll be back again tomorrow
