Communal Yoga Poem by Mel Parks

Together for Yoga

Yoga brings us back together.

Sharing the time on the mat

stops the clutter in my head. 

Like-minded people achieve

with practice, awareness, balance, 

abundance of love

expanding the spirit within. 

Beating of my heart

clears negative thoughts. 

I feel beautiful simply

when I feel at peace, 

letting go

of what others may think.

Cherish the occupying goddess,

learning to breathe

through my veins.

I am with myself

and my breath;

we’re mending now.

My mind and soul 

transforms the form 

of my body.

Surrounding myself 

with a sense of peace, 

stillness in action we rest

in loving ourselves.

My body feels powerful

to my core, practising yoga

inspires me every day.

I just LOVE it!
