FOR ALL THE THINGS YOU MAKE US DO<\/p>\n
For all the things you make us do<\/p>\n
like bends and twists till we are blue<\/p>\n
right in the face. Each standing pose<\/p>\n
from crown of head to tips of toes.<\/p>\n
Like going heels up over head.<\/p>\n
\u201cFull arms balance. Begin.\u201d you said.<\/p>\n
\u201cExhale, descend, on platform stand<\/p>\n
and bend from waist. Stretch out your hands<\/p>\n
until your fingers reach the floor.<\/p>\n
Inhale, exhale, and bend some more!\u201d<\/p>\n
( We did our best, we really tried.<\/p>\n
We bended till we almost died!)<\/p>\n
We stretch, the platform edge we clasp.<\/p>\n
Our \u201cnormal\u201d breathing comes in gasps!.<\/p>\n
\u201c Exhale and up. Now standing pose.<\/p>\n
Tadasana right from head to toes.<\/p>\n
Shoulders rolled back, now stand upright.<\/p>\n
Your buttocks grip with all your might!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cInhale and jump, three feet apart.<\/p>\n
It’s good for liver, lungs and heart.<\/p>\n
Trikonasana- turn and bend.<\/p>\n
Release your spine from end to end.<\/p>\n
Up and around, the other side.<\/p>\n
Narrow waist. Chest open wide.<\/p>\n
Feet together. Jump once again.<\/p>\n
Not just with the body. Use your brain!\u201d<\/p>\n
Five feet apart, bend your right knee,<\/p>\n
your weight distribute equally.<\/p>\n
Right palm upon the floor, now twist<\/p>\n
and stretch your arm, hand and wrist<\/p>\n
from shoulder joint to fingertips.<\/p>\n
Relax your forehead, neck and hips (!)<\/p>\n
Left side. Breathe only from your nose.<\/p>\n
Your anal mouth completely close!<\/p>\n
Utanasana as much you can<\/p>\n
your tailbone to the ceiling fan.<\/p>\n
Erect now, in Tadasana freeze<\/p>\n
Join thighs and chips of inner knees<\/p>\n
The next pose that just must be done<\/p>\n
is Parsvottanasana<\/p>\n
Although your bodies may be sore<\/p>\n
this is a real relaxing pose.<\/p>\n
Contract your perineum please<\/p>\n
wherever you may think it is!<\/p>\n
Uttanasana once again.<\/p>\n
Don’t mind the agony, the pain<\/p>\n
is healthy. Only if you’re dead<\/p>\n
you won’t feel pain. Lower your head<\/p>\n
until it’s like a falling fruit.<\/p>\n
Your palms on floor besides each foot.<\/p>\n
Inhale, ascend, let’s have a break.<\/p>\n
Don’t give up now for heaven’s sake!\u201d<\/p>\n
We did all this and so much more,<\/p>\n
we tried Sirsasana on the floor<\/p>\n
with shoulders raised and legs alive<\/p>\n
and variations four and five!<\/p>\n
Then back again to other things<\/p>\n
like forward bends and wonderings<\/p>\n
if we would last until the end<\/p>\n
with seven different backward bends,<\/p>\n
to prove to us that we were tough<\/p>\n
you really took us very far<\/p>\n
with twenty surya namaskars!<\/p>\n
When all of this was said and done<\/p>\n
you soothed us with savasana<\/p>\n
flat on our backs upon the ground<\/p>\n
we sensed each inner body sound<\/p>\n
whisper in our inner ears<\/p>\n
a sense of peace, of quiet cheer.<\/p>\n
Our faces calmed with gentle smiles<\/p>\n
the super session was worthwhile!<\/p>\n
