Poem: Yoga's Good for That


I have been attending yoga classes for the past three years and find it rejuvenating to my body, mind and spirit.  I created a series of cards a couple of years ago with hand drawn illustrations.  Here are a couple of the designs.



Yoga's Good for That

I bend and stand,
Stretch and sit,
Bow and reach,
Breathe a bit,

Find my core,
Downward dog,
Inner calm,
Think of blog,

What to write,
About this gift,
Yoga class,
What a lift,

Finding peace,
Finding balm,
Feeling good,
Feeling calm,

Gentle thoughts,
From within,
Gentle thoughts,
Will stay and then,

I’ll go about
My day to day,
With extra verve,
Extra nerve,

We all deserve
To feel this well,

Yoga’s good for that.
