I sent out an email blast, asking Sol Yoga teachers, teacher trainees, staff and volunteers to share with me their "yoga story" or anything else that they feel inspired to have posted on this blog. Janet Krones, a yoga teacher, sent me this. I think many would agree, doing yoga feels like this:
If once you've slept on an island
You'll never be quite the same
You may look as you looked the day before
And go by the same old name.
You may bustle about in street and shop
You may sit at home and sew
But you see blue water and wheeling gulls
Wherever your feet may go.
You may chat with the neighbors of this and that
And close to your fire keep
But you'll hear ship whistle and lighthouse bell
And tides beat through your sleep.
Oh, you won't know why, and you can't say how
Such a change upon you came
But once you've slept on an island
You'll never be quite the same.
You'll never be quite the same
You may look as you looked the day before
And go by the same old name.
You may bustle about in street and shop
You may sit at home and sew
But you see blue water and wheeling gulls
Wherever your feet may go.
You may chat with the neighbors of this and that
And close to your fire keep
But you'll hear ship whistle and lighthouse bell
And tides beat through your sleep.
Oh, you won't know why, and you can't say how
Such a change upon you came
But once you've slept on an island
You'll never be quite the same.
