Roots - Weekly Theme

"All my dawns cross the horizon
and rise, from underfoot.
What I stand for
is what I stand on."
from "Below" in "The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry"

This week in class we'll focus on aligning and engaging our feet, legs, and hips, what we refer to as our "roots" in our Bowspring practice. Staying rooted in healthy alignment enables us to move easier and lighter.

Join us as we connect to "what we stand on." matthewsyoga.com

The Wild Geese by Wendell Berry

Horseback on Sunday morning,
harvest over, we taste persimmon
and wild grape, sharp sweet
of summer's end. In time's maze
over fall fields, we name names
that went west from here, names
that rest on graves. We open
a persimmon seed to find the tree
that stands in promise,
pale, in the seed's marrow.
Geese appear high over us,
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear,
in the ancient faith: what we need
is here. And we pray, not
for new earth or heaven, but to be
quiet in heart, and in eye
clear. What we need is here.
