Softening Time: Collected Poems

Description

From beloved yogi, teacher, and artist Elena Brower comes the writer's new poetry collection: a lyrical exploration of grief, self-compassion, and learning from the past to navigate life's challenges with grace. Softening Time is both autobiography and self-help, poetry and inspiration. Drawing on events in her own life, including her experiences as a mother and a bereaved daughter, Brower writes poignantly on themes of loss, healing, and rebirth. Punctuating her work with themed quotations from a wide variety of celebrated writers and thinkers, Brower guides the reader along an intimate journey of both deepening and "softening" self-awareness.

Mama, teacher, artist, bestselling author, and host of the Practice You Podcast, Elena Brower has taught yoga and meditation since 1999. Her first book, Art of Attention, has been translated into seven languages, and her second, Practice You, is a bestseller. Her third book, Being You, was released in early 2021. Elena's yoga and meditation classes are on Glo.com and her Essential Mentorship is beloved for bringing analog creativity to online coursework. She oversees a global team of teachers with doTERRA, and her spoken word work can be heard on Above & Beyond's Flow State albums.
