Whether you’re a new
writer or a seasoned one, a song writer, screenwriter, fiction writer, journal
writer, journalist, or poet, yoga and meditation can offer you tools that
inspire creativity, help develop focus, address the physical demands of
writing, and teach you to work with the emotional obstacles common to writers.
In this introductory
three-hour course, you will learn:
• yoga poses geared specifically toward writers
• how
meditation can help us access deeper levels of consciousness that expand our
ability to write creatively and with clarity of vision
• how
yogic texts directly address the emotional setbacks of writers (and all
artists!), like doubt, fear, and judgment.
This workshop is great
for writers of all levels of experience as it focuses on process, not product.
There will be a mix of yoga, seated meditation, writing, and discussion. Please
bring a notebook and something to write with!
