Iyengar Yoga (Poem)

(The New Forest 2021)

A system of Yoga where safety is paramount,

Encouraging spiritual wisdom whilst feet are kept on the ground,

Like an Oak tree standing tall with its intelligence radiating,

Its roots go deep into the earth.

The Iyengar Yogi, likewise gains awareness of the Self,

Whilst engaging with the world : work, family and friends.

–

Like the Oak is grateful for the beaming sun and rain showers, the Iyengar Yogi bows their head to their teacher (s),

Parampara
