Yoga and Writing Workshop November 05

Held at Victorian Writers Centre
Am WAY late posting this but wanted to note how stimulating it was to give this workshop in Melbourne. All the participants already practiced in both writing and yoga. I prepare this workshop fresh every time, but always start with some yoga asana practice in a sequence designed to bring stillness and awareness, then a writing exercise, then on to various discussions, processes and other exercises. Everyone has lives full of other demands and sometimes, no matter how much commitment and love there is for our practices, both writing and yoga, we need to deepen and renew that, and that’s one of things this workshop is for.
Giving this workshop always deepens my appreciation of yoga and writing as ways to self knowledge and as disciplines that can be related. And there is also the issue of using yoga to balance and correct the misalignment caused by prolonged acts of writing.
