Starshine Salutation Yoga Poetry Sequence {audio for free + paid subscribers}
A yoga poetry sequence to open your heart and align your mind/body/spirit. Breathe, listen, move, take it in, and feel love.
You can go right to the old post, which I have opened for both free and paid subscribers, or read on here —
Maybe you have heard of Sun Salutation and, perhaps, Moon Salutation.
With the help of
, Kristin Voit, and Jen Galgano , I humbly share with you what I am calling, Starshine Salutation.I almost have no right to create it, expect that I have.
I find that most of life is showing up, getting out of your own way, and saying yes to a calling to do something that doesn’t seem possible. And then doing it anyway.
Starshine Salutation comes from what I feel to be the calling of our time—
to open our hearts, again, to all that life holds,
to love ourselves in our many forms
to hold our ground when all seems lost
to stop hurting ourselves and others
to come home to ourselves
to heal ourselves
to remember that we are all made of star stuff
that we are all part of creation
and that we have been through the end of time more than once
and we will make it though—
I created the Starshine Salutation yoga poetry sequence because yoga and poetry are the two things that have brought me such solace and connection throughout my life. And it somehow works in brining mind/body/spirit into one place of harmony and wonder.
Even if just for 12 minutes, try it, and please let me know what you think.
Usually, because of how time consuming it is, audio is for paid subscribers only. But today, this is for all of you — you can go back to the open post or listen to it here:
I perform these poems alongside a yoga instructor, but am not a yoga instructor myself, so please do take care of yourself if you are practicing to these poem. If you are not familiar with these movements, you can go here to learn the foundations of these yoga poses.

Thank you for sharing!
I finally had a chance to listen to this lovely sequence of poems and poses. Thank you SO much. A perfect short sequence for any time of day, but I did it super early in CA after a full day of travel to get out here and before a day full of caring for grandchildren. Simply perfect! I love them all but I especially LOVE the dog, goddess, and star pose poems. “You are a wish In someone’s sky!” Beautiful!
