Sharing an extraordinary poem written by our incomparable Grandfather Shakti Yogi Pitika

WHEN THREE YOGAS MET 🕉️🪷🕉️

By Pitika ka Ntuli
For Taryn & Reshika Reshika van Zyl

HATHA spoke first.
“I teach you to stand.
To breathe.
To balance.
Before you seek the heavens,
learn to inhabit the earth.
Your body is your first home.”

YIN smiled gently.
“You have learned to stand.
Now learn to be still.
Do not rush through silence.
Hold the posture.

LISTEN .
The body remembers what the mind has forgotten.
Healing begins when we stop running.”

TRANSFORMATIONAL YOGA waited before speaking.
“I honour you both.

Without Hatha,
there is no foundation.
Without Yin there is no listening.
But I ask one more question.
Who returns from the mat?
The same person?

Or someone whose heart has grown wider,
whose fear has softened,
whose compassion has deepened?”

HATHA nodded.
“I prepare the body.”
Yin whispered.
“I prepare the soul to listen.”
Transformational Yoga bowed.
“And together,
we prepare the human being
to become more fully human.”

Then the three turned toward one another.

HATHA said,
“Strength without stillness
can become ambition.”

YIN replied,
“Stillness without action
can become sleep.”

TRANSFORMATIONAL YOGA smiled.
“And action born from stillness becomes wisdom.”

The mat lay silent.
The breath continued.

Somewhere an ancestor smiled.
For yoga had ceased to be exercise.

It had become a conversation between body breath memory spirit and the future.

Wasabi MY Cat Yoga Muse
For Taryn
By Pitika

my cat yoga muse,
you came to me tonight
with your slow, modelled walk as you always did.

You rubbed yourself against me
for a moment,
as if to say:
I am here. I remember you.

Then you inspected my pose,
quietly, seriously,
with those ancient cat eyes.

Test passed.

Now you have passed on,
but you have not left the mat.

Rest well, Wasabi.
My little teacher of balance.
My soft-footed witness.
My muse.

RIP, beloved one
