For giving me the gift of dance
To explore yoga with.
For helping me understand
That if movement comes from within
Rather than imposed from without
The body expresses itself
With integrity.
Physical knots release,
Helping me escape from the prisons
Of emotional blocks
And mental restrictions.
Loving the Freedom,
Consciousness
filled with focus,

Watching the body unfurl and curl,
Stretch and strengthen
Exactly as it wants to.
Thank you for helping me
Learn to cherish
The innate intelligence
Of the body
And the creativity
Of spirit.
Helping me understand that
From the well springs of joy
And depths of sorrow
Movement moves me through
And keeps me moving on
To stillness.
