YOGA 4 WRITING
“I hope you will go out and let stories, that is life, happen to you, and that you will work with these stories...
water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.”
~ Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Writing is a physical act. Yoga connects the body more deeply to the writing. By paying attention to different parts of the body, we are able to access stories that may have been forgotten. By creating more awareness of the body in space, we increase presence, and attention - crucial for the writing process. A short yoga and meditation practice at the beginning of each session gives us access to unique perspectives in our writing: stories of blood and bone, organs and fascia.
These writing sessions will stretch your body and your mind, will challenge you to find new voices, new points of view, new stories. Your writing will never be the same.
