Poems for Savasana: to read, feel and carry beyond the mat

This is a book of poems and reflections, written from my heart to yours.These pages are an invitation to pause, breathe and look gently within. They are here to help you reflect on your life, your place in the world and the way you speak to yourself, especially during the moments when life feels overwhelming.You can read this book quietly with a cup of coffee, use it as part of your yoga practice, share the poems while teaching a class, or simply open it whenever you need comfort, encouragement or a different perspective.We are all navigating life for the first time, and sometimes it can be difficult to remember that we are worthy, we are enough and we are doing the best we can.Life can become so busy. We juggle work, homes, families, responsibilities and the needs of everyone around us, often forgetting to make space for ourselves. Even five quiet minutes can make a difference.Put down your phone, turn off the television and step away from the noise for a little while. Allow yourself time to recharge, reconnect and listen to what you truly need.Inside, you will find five beautiful collections: Stillness Healing Strength Gratitude TransformationEach collection contains poems, reflections and affirmations designed to support you through the challenges of everyday life. They will encourage you to practise mindfulness, trust yourself, recognise your own strength and make choices that feel right for you.You do not need to be a yogi to enjoy these poems. This book is for anyone who needs permission to slow down, to stop putting themselves last and to remember that taking care of yourself is not selfish. It is necessary.I began writing these poems to read during the final resting posture at the end of my yoga classes. I wanted my students to have time to rest, reflect and leave the room feeling a little lighter than when they arrived.My hope is that these words will offer the same feeling to you.Open this book whenever life feels too much, whenever you need reassurance, or simply whenever you want to spend a few quiet moments with yourself.You are worthy of that time.You are doing better than you think.And you are already amazing, exactly as you are.
