\"\"<\/p>\n

My wish for you
\nIs not that you will stand on one leg…
\n…With your foot behind your ear
\nOr that you will bend down and touch your toes
\nOr get your heels to the ground in down dog.<\/p>\n

My wish for you is that you will feel so safe
\nThat you will lower the mask you wear,
\nThe protective shield between you and the world
\nThat you will drop your baggage of stories and worries
\nIf only for the duration of the practice
\nAnd reveal your truth
\nYour vulnerability
\nYour shadow
\nYour mess
\nThe outstanding beauty of your heart and soul.<\/p>\n

My wish for you is not that you will master Ujjayi breathing
\nOr relax so deeply in Savasana that you fall asleep…
\nI do not mind whether you know the Sanskrit names for poses
\nOr if you share my passion for yoga philosophy and spirituality.<\/p>\n

My wish for you is that you feel the miracle of this life
\nThat you you learn to savour each breath
\nTo listen to your body and mind
\nTo meet with your glorious self
\nExactly as you are and not as you think you should be,
\nOr how others describe\u00a0 you.<\/p>\n

My wish for you is not that you will loose weight
\nBecome more flexible and strong
\nNot that you will get more definition in you upper arms
\nAnd a pert, peachy\u00a0 bottom
\nAlthough all these things are possible…. with practice…<\/p>\n

My wish for you is that your mat will become your mirror
\nRevealing your patterns, your wisdom, your reality
\nAnd that you will see all that you are, all that you can be
\nAnd that you will love what you see
\nAnd be free.<\/p>\n
