Walk-ins welcome if space allows. Pre-registration encouraged.
All materials and yoga props provided. Chair yoga available if that’s a better fit for your body. You can participate in whatever parts of the offering you like and leave the rest behind. This time and space is for you. If you have specific questions or accommodation requests, please contact me.
The pre-registration link asks for your name and email, but this is simply to save your spot - feel free to use an alternative name. I will never share your information.

creative practice: a yoga & writing workshop
Have you ever wondered how your yoga practice and writing practice could intersect and inform one another? Do you think the practices of yoga could inspire and grow your connection to creativity?
Whether you’re an experienced writer or hoping to begin a journaling or other writing practice, if you’re curious about connecting to your creative side through movement, language, and more, this workshop is for you.
Join me for an afternoon retreat of yoga and writing in community. We’ll circle up for a gentle, inclusive yoga practice designed to connect you to your inner creative voice.
The practice will be interwoven with quiet time for individual writing (guided with prompts) and other experiences meant to spark your creativity and foster a safe space to experiment with writing in community.
