Yin Yoga Travel Sequencing

Kali Durga Yoga

For the Insight Seekers, the Gypsies

The ones who feel rooted most in transit

Who Wander & Know

The Earth as your home delights in your dance

As your traverse many worlds, traipse lightly in heart

This sequence is a lunar form of honoring the movement

While finding the spaciousness & quietude within

If you’re one who travels often,

Use the wisdom of these somatic expressions

The art of these Asanas

To decompress the areas of Chi stagnation

The accumulation of tension in the spheres & edges of our Being 

May this elongate & illuminate

The source of Chi in you

The rich robust and fierce within

Which affords you the Voyage
