Body of Writing
Body of Writing adds an additional dimension to the traditional mind-body-spirit practice of yoga: story.
In this workshop we begin with the premise that we write from the body — that our bodies hold our stories. Using a combination of inspirational writing exercises and prompts, yoga postures, meditation, and visualization techniques, we deepen creativity and access the stories we carry.
We begin with a warmup of gentle stretches and attention to breath. In this state of relaxation and body awareness, we learn how to sense blocks within the body, then transition from relaxing to writing, transforming blocks into self-expression.
All sessions end with 10–20 minutes of guided deep relaxation. All levels. Previous experience with creative writing or yoga is not necessary.
Especially recommended for blocked writers.
