Hari Om, Hurry Home

Poet Brenda Nicholas believes her regular yoga and meditation practice has healed her anxiety and periodic depression by calming her nerves and keeping her centered and energized, helping her maintain a peaceful outlook in the face of everyday stress. She shares her beautiful and inspiring yoga poetry in her debut collection. If you teach yoga or simply do yoga at home on your own, you may be looking for inspiring words to share with your class or to meditate upon before beginning your practice. Reading yoga poems before or during a yoga class is an excellent way to invite a calm, soothing, reflective mindset. This, in turn, helps relax and  prepare the body for the many benefits of deep stretches and asanas in a yoga class.
