Yoga Posture Quotes

“The way I touch
earth and heaven at once,
stretching from soil to sky.
The way the mat holds my feet
and my feet hold me.
The way it seems so simple,
something to be brushed off as
‘too easy,’
and the way it is actually
foundational.
The way I know
that when I am in it,
I am it—
unshakeable no matter what
winds blow or rains pour down.
It is as if I remain,
eternal,
undaunted,

majestic.

—mountain pose”
