Many of us read a poem before or after our yoga practice, but interweaving poetry inside of our yoga practices can bring presence and magic into our studios and into our lives
The wonderful thing about your yoga poetry is that it always offers something new - often hidden - in the posture. Your yoga poems are truly written from the inside out. You give compelling and beautiful words to what_you_feel, reminding us all to continue to turn the arrow of inquiry internally. Very beautiful. Thank you.
🙏🏻🙏🏻Thank you. I am grateful for the poems for allowing me to write and rewrite them. Some of them are still calling to be reimagined. I guess like the asanas themselves. They evolve.
These poems are all so precious and they can help us go deeper into why we do the poses we do. What do these poses mean? What are the stories we tell ourselves as we embody the essence of these poses? You often hear teachers ask students to 'let go of the stories you tell yourself about your life,' but I would argue that maybe sometimes we should just shift and tell ourselves more intentional, uplifting stories. And that is what you are helping us to do through your poetry! So beautiful and relatable!
Thank you, Jacquie. I appreciate your insight, support, and encouragement. I really do hope these poems help us shift towards more self-love and lightness.
I was going to ask the same thing! I have been on my own yoga poem journey since I began YTT last year, it is very odd I never wrote poetry before it just started coming in stories just like this about asana and pranayam. I just started publishing them a few months ago but feel embarrassed about reading my own poetry in class, so I really look forward to sharing these gems you created!
I absolutely love this and shared it and messaged it to all the teachers at my studio too. These are stunning poems and I appreciate you sharing them. Thank you.

So Corie, when's your Yoga Poetry book coming out? It would be lovely to have them all in one place! 😘
I am doing poster prints first, then audio… then the book. You would be one of the first to know!
Okay, I will allow it. 🤣

It is in the air and poetry is and yoga, I believe, it part of our awakening. I would love to read you poems! Where have you published them?

I love your yoga poetry, it has definitely inspired me to slowly dip back into yoga as I work through my PT exercises. Thank you Corie!

When I read that, my heart filled with gratitude. Thank you for your presence here and for sharing!!!
Great work Corie! This fits perfectly with a post I started this morning.
If ok with you, I would love to reference this in my post next week.
Of course! It is all about connection and collaboration!
