Press Release
A ground-breaking project, The Poetry of Yoga has expanded the literary tradition of yoga to include the cultural perspective of the 21st century. A modern day collection compiled and edited by artist, poet, and yogi HAWAH, the two volumes are distilled from over 1,900 pages of poetry that was submitted online from 19 countries. The volumes are saturated with poetry from Internationally celebrated master teachers and best-selling authors/ musicians.
From the project’s inception, Hawah’s vision was to help kick-start a modern day renaissance of age-old, and now deceased, master poets such as Hafiz, Mirabai, and Rumi; hence reclaiming the mystical expression that defines so many yoga practitioners around the world today. The other part of the mission was to help raise money for the non-profit organization One Common Unity, which teaches non-violence and conflict resolution through the arts to inner-city youth. Fifty percent of book sales are donated to benefit their pioneering programs and initiatives.

“To have yoga without poetry is like having marriage without love. Poetry is the essence of beauty in language. I am grateful for HawaH having put together this volume to inspire yoga students with the beauty of meter and verse.”
~ Aadil Palkhivala, Master Yoga Teacher
“It is such an incredible combination of yoga and poetry that we were literally ‘blown away’.” ~ Flow Yoga Magazine
“Hafiz, Mirabai, Rumi, and Gibran never fail to slow speedy minds and wake closed hearts. And now, thanks to this Poetry of Yoga—destined to become a favorite gift book for our community—these two ancient lineages reawaken one another. These writers’ words are offered as salve for the soul. May it be of benefit!”
