Many yoga teachers have found great value in reading a carefully selected poem in class. We want to make it easy for you to find inspirational poems while also being sure not to infringe on any copyrights. Therefore, when we highlight poems by living authors, we introduce the poem by quoting the first few lines and then provide links to the full text, as available. Use the menu above to choose general categories of poetry.
