So much of life is fast. Summer is a great time to slow down, but rarely does that happen for me  without a conscious effort. This series is meant to be a container for that slowness. To drop into a pace that allows for imagination to be more than a thought. Imagination comes in thought, yes, but also from the body in feelings, sensations, dreams, instincts, and impulse. In this series, we’ll explore imagination from the body through movement and presence. By paying attention to shifts and changes that inevitably occur in mind and body, we’ll connect with and write from images and stories that arise in this space. With themes of place, color, dreams, senses, memory, speculation, and more, we’ll open to possibility through the body, breath, and imagination.

Why yoga & writing? 

Yoga is a practice that is meant to connect. To bring together mind and body. An opportunity to get curious about what is. With attention and care cultivated in the yoga practice, it’s possible to make new discoveries about being in a body, about the self, and the heart. Writing is thinking, is processing, is feeling, is making, creating, and discovering connections. Taking some time to write after the yoga practice can be like a continuation, an easing, and integrating of the yoga practice into our day to day lives.

​

Of course there’s more! Looking forward to hearing how you would answer this “why.” How do you experience the practices of yoga and writing?

 

What past yoga & writing participants have said:

 

“The yoga and writing workshops with Erin provide a focus and positive adjustment on the stories that I tell myself. The stories about my strengths and my goals to grow, the stories about my place on this planet, and the stories about the greater purpose of our universe and connectivity across all things. The workshops that Erin leads provide space for connectivity of physical, emotional and spiritual and sets the path for a greater personal and community impact.”

 

“The yoga & writing classes have been a great addition to my practice because a lot of times after leaving a yoga class, we are right back into the chaos of everyday life. Incorporating the writing portion into the class allowed me to acclimate back into the world while preserving where my thoughts went while I was in the class.”

 

“During one of the sessions, I started a short story that I later completed, and it was the first piece of fiction I had written for almost 20 years.”

 

“It bridged a mind, body, and emotional connection that ignited a form of expression and exploratory domain I didn’t know was possible. Erin’s workshop practiced mindfulness and connections to the body. I was genuinely eager during each day to get to class to unfold the layers of emotional and physical possibilities.”
