testimonial for yoga and writing

June 7, 2008

I received this lovely testimonial from author and yoga devotee Sarah Armstrong as I prepare my latest Yoga and Writing workshop (see previous post):

Testimonial:

It’s clear that Inez brings years of writing experience to her teaching – her observations of my manuscript were insightful and proved very useful in the re-writing process. It’s rare to find a writing teacher who is also a dedicated yoga instructor – and what a potent combination yoga and writing is! I have found yoga very powerful in connecting me to my creativity.
