Synopsis

The sixty poems in this book are windows into the mind/body/spirit experiences that come about through yoga practice. Each poem is named for a posture or breath exercise and is inspired by the physical properties of the pose or some aspect of breathing that led the poet to deeper understanding. Listening to these poems read aloud, or contemplating them on one’s own, will help yoga students understand their own struggles and inspire them on the way to personal transformation.

About this title

From the Publisher:

From The Yoga Journal, September 2000:

"A set of elegant poems inspired by the study and practice of yoga. Lowitz . . . writes here with a Zenlike spareness that lends clarity both to the poems and the reader's appreciation of the yoga experience. YOGA POEMS serves as a window onto a landscape made more vivid by the physical ingenuity and spiritual richness of yoga, and any student of yoga will find treasures to cherish within its pages."

YOGA POEMS: LINES TO UNFOLD BY is the winner of the 2001 PEN Josephine Miles Award for Best Poetry Book.
