Yoga is a Sport…
Yoga
is a sport
of breaths
on runs and jogs
through trails of forests
rivers and neighborhood
streets lined with lights,
of beating hearts
set to moving feet and
arms arched to music playing
simultaneously inwardly and outwardly,
of lines of sight
from eyes to hands to hearts
of balls hit and tossed and thrown
against backdrops of vectors seen as one
fabric – one web,
of liquid races in the waters
of feet felt along the paths
of whispers
and whistles sung
by the winds and waters
on our runs and swims and dives
deep along the edges of
our comfort zones
as we compete
and play
within
the yogic loophole –
our edge.
Yoga
is the sport within….

i had some small debate within myself if yoga was a sport or not, intellectually anyways 😉
in my heart, i knew – i know it is, but differently than maybe first thought so…
*
last week i wrote a review of one woman’s journey from intellectual to emotional understanding / acceptance
this week i have a minor mirror reflection of that same process
how could yoga be a sport!? i asked myself
sportsmanship? i answered
self-sportsmanship?
yes!
i think that’s it… 😉
namaste´- con dios – god be with you
