Wild Poetry Forum » ~ASANAS~ (Epic / Prose Forum)  

Welcome to ASANAS

~Epic / Prose Forum~


"Yoga uses a combination of techniques that include the asanas or poses, relaxation, meditation, diet and nutrition. All of these are linked with conscious breathing. Performing these techniques tends to balance the functions of the body, including the involuntary systems of circulation, respiration, digestion, metabolism, elimination and immunity. Yoga is the union of Spirit/Mind/Body."

From “Yoga = Union of Spirit, Mind, Body = Health” by Michael Braunstein


ASANAS is for LONG or EPIC pieces, whether they be in the form of poetry or prose. SHORT STORIES are welcome here too. Just how long can you hold that pose?

Ñ This forum is intended for light comments, minor suggestions, and general responses. Please keep in mind that not all of our writers are professionals; some just wish to share and hear your opinions, some are still young and learning.

Ñ If your work contains adult themes and content, please investigate ~THERAPEUTIC TOUCH~, our Adult Content forum.

Ñ The work (poetry only, not short stories) posted here will be considered for Poem of the Week and the IBPC. Members are invited to nominate poems for Poem of the Week. Please see the WPF FAQs for more information.
