Go In and In: Poems From the Heart of Yoga

These poems grow out of the practice of yoga, meditation and close attention to the natural world. Written by a longtime yoga practitioner and teacher, they move between the mat and the wider landscape, finding stillness in breath, posture and the seasons. Some pieces reflect on the inner experience of practice, while others turn outward to trees, water and weather as teachers in their own right. The collection is intended for anyone who wants to think about body and spirit in quiet, reflective language, whether or not they already practise yoga, and it offers a gentle way into the contemplative heart of the discipline.
