In the Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy training which I just recently finished (hooray!), one of our assignments was to explore the "metaphysical elements" of common yoga poses. My method was to spend several minutes in each pose, observing the sensations, images and words that arose within me. Coming out of the pose, I would immediately start writing stream-of-consciousness poetry. After the practice, I went back over the poems and cleaned them up a bit. Here are two I particularly liked. I am intrigued by the ways the body can be a source of creativity, and may one day put together a workshop on the topic.
