Anxiety has me bottled up inside, out of sorts and itching for an outlet
I disrobe for another sphere, bare feet firmly planted, toes wide
I straighten my stance as I salute the universe
sun pose, breathe
downward dog, breathe
upward dog, breathe
proud warrior, breathe
mind and body one, all air
I breathe, stretch, and bend, contorting limbs formidably
I breathe a calmer breath and I do it all over again
with a trickle of sweat, I cannot catch
rolling supremely down my brow
dark spots splotch purple mat
limbs quiver and quake
breathe . . . breathe
Asana relieved
Joyous mind again
I thank the universe, bow my head, and whisper
Namaste . . .

Aww! Breathing is so important. We as people, don’t do it correctly, and not enough when we’re anxious. Thanks Simon 🙂

I’ve heard this before… It seems strange to need to teach breathing. Always a pleasure 😊

Hahaha! Does sound strange given we breathe automatically every day. I won’t bore you with details of the correct way to do so. 😊

Thank you! Any time Simon. I’ve become a fan of iMovie for book trailers. I was using PowerPoint which required too much work. But if you own an iPad, iMAC, or iPhone, you can download iMovie. Very easy to use.
