my yoga studio

I've tried others

but it seems I always

return

to my sanctuary

my bedroom

where true calm

can be found

where 

hot yoga

can happen with the

flip of a switch

and there is always

time

for a few poses

or a whole session

often times

guided

with videos from my

laptop

right within reach

to create

a successful

comfortable practice

the essentials

mat

blocks

strap

zafu & zabuton

yoga socks

a lavender-filled eye pillow

and finally 

myself

because when I show up

and sit quietly

in meditation

as the asanas

wash over me

feeling strong and capable

to greet what the day holds

it is a simple reminder

an encouraging

to 

show up more often.
