Self Portrait as alphabetical yoga

 

A big breath in

  breathe out slowly

    curl over and hang

     deep deep breath

      ear to one shoulder

       feet parallel to one another

        giant step to the right

         huge step to the left

          invert the legs

           jump them back together

            kick one leg out and over the other

             lean to the right

              move up and over from the waist

               now stretch to the toes

                over straight knees        

                   past long lengthened thighs

                   quiet the monkey mind

                     return to

                       standing

                         tighten the buttocks

                          up pull the backs of the hamstrings

                           vary the breaths

                             xamine and loosen any tightness in the neck

                                zazen for the body’s organs.
