Author’s note: This is a light-hearted, yoga-inspired parody of the Beyoncé song “Drunk In Love.” The only part omitted is the Jay-Z rap. If you feel up for a challenge, leave a yogic-parody-version of his rap in the comments!

I’ve been breathing, I’ve been breathing
I get energized when that prana get into me.

Heart is beating, heart is beating
Why can’t I keep my fingers off it, as my
Chest begins to rise and fall…

Why can’t I keep my fingers off it, as my
Chest begins to rise and fall…

Sitars are nice, sitars are nice
I like to listen to those strings sing while I breathe
Golden light, golden light
I see it, warm and bright surrounding me

Ek ong karr…Sat nam.
I see that golden light surrounding me,
Ek ong karr…Sat nam.

Peace and love…

{Au-uum}

I woke up in the morning saying, I’m ready for some Surya Namaskar—Om Shanti!

Peace and love!

So full of light…

Last thing I remember is my beautiful body twisted up in asana
Peace and love!

So full of light! And love!
Love!

So full of light!
Love!

So full of light…And everything’s alright
No complaints from my body, muscles strengthened, heart feeling light
Boy, I’m breathing…Steppin’ back into my downward dog
I’m peddling, ped-peddling, stretch those calves and lengthen ‘em

Boy, I’m breathing, get my mind right
Third eye activated, white light
Body flowing, sweat it out, engage ujjayi and breathe it out
Boy, I’m breathing, heart beating, on the mat till I can’t take no more
Then I fill the tub up halfway, then soak these bones till they’re not sore…not sore, not sore.

Stretching out real good, stretch-stretching out real good
I’m sweating out this, sweat-sweatin’ out this body
So I can be of service…Serve, serving all, it feels good, good.

I woke up in the morning saying, I’m ready for some Surya Namaskar – Om Shanti!

Peace and love!

So full of light…Last thing I remember is our beautiful spirits, saluting the sun!

Peace and love!

So full of light! And love!
Loooove!

So full of light!
And love!

Never tired, never tired
I been breathing, that’s the only thing that grounds me – breath of fire, breath of fire…
Didn’t mean to spill that liquid all over my yoga attire
I’ve been drinking… Watermelon…
Infused water, right here, gotta hydrate right now
Can’t keep my eyes off my drishti,
As I’m breathing…

So full of light! And love!

Love!
