Bikram Yoga

Written by our Connecticut yoga student, G. Hastings :

Bodies

In mirrored reflection

From different worlds

Burdens, distractions, vanity

Minds racing

A trusted cadence calls

Breathe

Mirrors blur

A compelling intonation

Breathe

Reflections left and right dissolve

Only oneself now

Encouragement

Reach higher, deeper, further

Focus from within

Persuasive refrain demands more

Blood racing, heart pumping, body drenched

Mind immersed

Adrenalin rushes from the core

Time extinct

Over the threshold a pinnacle attained

Harmony of body and mind

Breathing

Quieter rhythm now, winding down

Where are my fellow travelers

Lying flat all as equals

Absorbed in accomplishment

Distractions gone

Vanity vanquished

Replenished

Fulfilled

Pure joy
