Healing Yoga: Poetic Images to Breathe Wellness is a resource celebrating synchrony of poetry and yoga. Having been a student of yoga for over 20 years, I am devoted to this ancient eastern practice. A story heard fairly often, I looked to yoga after a cancer diagnosis many years ago. I ultimately became enlightened to yoga's purity and therapeutic value. I began to write about yoga postures as I encountered them and discovered the way in which poetic imagery created wellness patterns for my life through mind/body/spirit integrity. My intention for this book is to enhance health and well-being through a union of poetic verse and yoga movement. Reading the poems before, during, or after practice allows for integration of body posturing and soul searching. The yogi is able to mentally and spiritually place themselves in each pose; experiencing a growing awareness of transformation. The poems connect to each posture; nurturing the mind, strengthening the body, illuminating the spirit.
