Out
of my Comfort Zone
|
Walking
into Class Heart
racing As
I scanned the room Where
to place my yoga mat No!
Not in the middle of the room Out
of my comfort zone What
would they think As
I glanced at my teacher, I received A reassuring smile So, on the exhale and than the inhale I
ventured out Into
the open As
I sat in virasana I
came into the present moment My
self-conscious thoughts fell away It
didn’t matter That
I felt so obvious In
my shorts and tank top My
body size didn’t matter I
stepped out of fear in my head And
into the stillness of The moment Yoga
Is
A
path, a doorway Into
something deeper A
transformational process Ever
evolving Never
ending Always
beginning Changing
form inside out Ever
evolving Into something new |

| Showing
Up It’s
been over two years And
I’m still showing up Always
beginning Each
time a new Standing Still Working
in the pose Benefits
too numerous to list Union
of body and mind Spiritual
growth Never
knowing what to expect How
will my body respond today Sometimes
stiff At other times Somewhat
more flexible And
I’m still showing up There
is nothing to understand or
to know Just
remember to Experience
the experience Along the path Ego
free Challenge
without judgment Open
heart and mind Sense
of humor in everything Compare only self from day to day Observing others with a open heart Find your edge and enjoy Allow strength Let go and Feel Relax into your self |
