WarriYoga is back from an epic sabbatical and classes recommence on Friday 11 Mar 22.

This Rumi poem is so appropriate for right now: ”Don’t open the lid too soon.”
I guess we need to simmer a little longer in these strange and confusing times…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have come to drag you out of your self
and take you into my heart.

I have come to bring out the beauty
you never knew you had
and lift you like a prayer to the sky.

If no one recognizes you, I do
because you are my life and soul.

Don't run away, accept your wounds and
let bravery be your shield.

It takes a thousand stages
for the perfect being to evolve.

Every step of the way I will walk with you
and never leave you stranded.

Be patient, do not open the lid too soon
simmer away until you are ready.

In this game I make the rules.
I roll you like a ball and chase you
when I choose.
