Uttanasana / Intense Stretch

I’ve been doing yoga daily since March using Yoga With Adriene’s monthly calendar of videos. Here’s the video where she talks about imagining a trap-door opening while in forward fold: https://yogawithadriene.com/30-days-yoga-day-8/ (at around 16:00).

Uttanasana / Intense Stretch

in forward fold
the trap-door to my crown
falls open
and negativity spills out –
a black tarry mess
of worry guilt envy –
leaving my cortex
free to breathe
think clearly
be harmonious
send a namaste to all beings
even me
