Yoga + Writing Classes

Summer Yoga & Writing 

Wednesdays 7:00pm-9:00pm EST

July 9, 16, 23, 30 

Aug 6 & 13

 

This 6 week series will center around yoga and writing and how, through these practices, we can become more aware of our own bodies (sensations, feeling, location, etc.) and how we interact with the world around us through meaningful action in our daily lives. 

 

In these times of distress, strong emotions, and pushing against forces that are trying to oppress and eliminate everyday freedoms for whole groups of people, sometimes being embodied can be hard. Connecting to outside elements in nature can be a way to step into our bodies in new ways. The elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space will guide our time together and act as a grounding themes for each class. This will naturally lend itself to some conversation and work with chakras (energy centers in the body) and connecting to the natural world. Every week we will focus on a different element and explore its connection to, and how it might influence, our practices of yoga, writing, and being in our bodies.

 

Each time we meet, we will follow a structure somewhat like this:

 

20 min: intro/discussion/lecture

60 min: yoga practice, including meditation, pranayama, and asana

30 min: guided writing portals

10 min: reflection/optional sharing

 

The yoga practice will be a gentle flow with layers of personal choice and options meant to be adaptable to individuals’ needs and desires in the moment. 

 

The writing portals (prompts) will be creative in nature, but reflective and journal-like. Writing what comes up for you from the body is encouraged. The portals are offered as a suggestion and following what feels most important for you to bring your attention to each session takes precedent. 

 

Each class will include extra optional reading materials and playlist for practice. <3

 

No prior experience in yoga or writing needed before taking this series.
