it took me years
to become a yoga person
it took me one month
to unbecome a yoga person
sick at home, the mat collecting dust
was away on a retreat to paradise
so I could not suck up
her endless energy
like a vampire or a dementor
I came across a nifty sheet
so here we go:
day 1
Zoom yoga, I felt like a stiff elephant
day 2
Yoga in the park, it hailed, but as the ice water on the mat melted
I miraculously filled me with energy
day 3
stopped binge watching and did YouTube yoga, so distracted, kept getting up to clean stuff that had not bothered me for months
day 4
Yin Yoga in the studio
I felt like dusty accordion, slowly opening up
and the screechy noise became music
when she gently pushed me into a pose
I could feel my body relax
day 5
at home, arms shaking like an earthquake
day 6
studio, my half moon fell into the ocean
day 7
only 15 minutes minutes before going out to dinner
but every minute countsĀ
