The Poetry of Yoga: Light Pouring from Pens - Poetry of Yoga Series Hawah

Marc Notes: Hafiz, Gibran, Neruda, Rumi. their yoga mats were blank pieces of paper;they did asana with pencils between their fingers;their pranayama was inverted metaphor;and their Samadhi was uninhibited, naked poetry. Yoga is a journey, an intricate dance of mind, body, breath, and spirit. It is cultivation of self-awareness through reflection. The Poetry of Yoga is an ecstatic gathering of poetry written by some of the most accomplished and well-known spiritual teachers of our time. Poems are set in the following yogic themes: compassion, desire, freedom, transformation, and service. A book all yoga practitioners cherish and return to over and over for nourishment and inspiration. --; Provided by publisher.
