the poetry practice - writing your way to hope and healing
FLOETRY: LETTING YOGA AND POETRY MOVE YOU

"The visceral nature of poetry cuts through the intellect and often goes right to the intuitive, feeling mind. If you are willing, you can feel a quiet shift inside your body...try applying poetry when you are on your mat and see what unfolding occurs. You may start to discover images that bring your inner yoga alive"
—Shiva Rea, Yoga Journal, Sept./Oct. 2001

Whether you have an existing yoga or writing practice, or are new to one or both, this workshop is for you. The soothing and uplifting combination of merging poetry, writing and yoga will bring forth a new way of calming the mind and body while accessing vital creative energy. Facilitated by a yoga instructor and a certified poetry therapist, participants will be guided through gentle yoga, while listening to the recitation of poetry based on the poses. Afterwards, we will take a deeper look at the poems and go further into their personal meanings by doing some simple, yet thought provoking writing exercises. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring your favorite pen and notebook. Experience poetry in motion.
