Yoga and the Mind

Yoga and the Mind

My thoughts are like the practice of Yoga
Free and relaxed; calm and at peace
The lines of my body create intricate patterns just like my mind with new concepts
Both weave in and out of each other; testing their limits
My feet stretch to their farthest point and then retract in protest
My thoughts race
Every thought is strained and stretched
They feel tight and unfamiliar to me; just like my muscles as they lengthen and work
The tension is released and my mind roams free for one moment
Just like my body as it takes part in relaxation of the core
My legs and arms reach out to achieve new mobility
Like my mind as it wraps itself around new ideas
My body seeks challenge and bends to new poses
My thoughts copy
Practice of Yoga makes me more comfortable
Just as continual mental debate answers questions
Both seek, both challenge, both question
