I Am Yoga

it is in the stillness.

That is where the yoga lays.

In the space between the breaths,

between the ebb and flow

of body and mind

it is in the surrender

of thoughts and actions,

of lists and responsibility.

The letting go of the “should”

and the opening of “I am”

it is in the moment;

the present moment.

not the wounds of the past

nor the worries of the future

but the here and now

it is the unloading of

shame and of doubt.

a strength that comes

from a place I

didn’t know I had

I AM yoga.

I am stillness.

I am grace and movement.

I am flow and surrender.

I am the divine personified.

I am life.

I am love.

I am eternity.

And I am all those things

I never thought I’d be.
