a yoga love letter

cold yoga studio
on this fall night
5 layers of clothes
and still cold
mat space on the frosty hardwood
alongside the fireplace
heat doesnt (yet) penetrate these cold bones
gently begin moving
waking the body up
creaking cracking 100 year old house body
gently warming
then suddenly
ananda - bliss
flying high
body limber & elastic
"make the pose work for you"
remembering briefly what this is all about
mind sinking
as body warms
and releases it
into blackness quiet calm serenity
resting while moving
take the mind out of it
and let the body move
euphoria remains
grin plastered
how did i function before i found this respite?
