Saturday morning.
Off to the gym to try and stretch out a week’s worth of tension.
Stretch forward and down
I’ve been trying to stretch forward all week
Right hand down, then left
One foot ahead of the other Monday to Friday
Go down into plank
Hmmm…maybe I could cook a steak on a plank
Up into downward dog
Maybe I should have come to the gym more this week
Hold the pose and rotate to the left
Flexible? I try to be
Down into child’s pose
My favorite position, no balance involved
Warrior position
I like these standing positions; clear my mind, clear my mind, focus
Down to the floor, to work our abs
I hope I can find them; how many more?
Breathe in, exhale
Yikes, I even have to think about doing thatOk, I’m focused.
Quiet music
We’re done?
My gym closed this week along with my favorite yoga class.
ReplyDeleteThanks for allowing me to do virtual yoga with you.
Love your poem. Very cool the way you alternated from a thought to a pose throughout your piece. I should go to the gym today. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI too like the way you alternated the two strands. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteYes, I loved this too! I know the yoga is supposed to be meditative but my thoughts would be working the way yours were!
ReplyDeleteI like how you think while trying not to. The brain is always working and thinking especially while one is trying to slice for 31 days.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun that we are thinking of writing even when doing other things. When I exercised this am, I mentally brainstormed things I could write about next week. I enjoyed the alternating actions/thoughts. The style worked very well.
