with Lisa Jakub
September 20 - 22, 2019
Explore the deep connections between writing and Yoga in this experiential workshop designed to help put you in touch with your innate creativity.

In this workshop, you will:
- Discuss ways to move deeper into your writing
- Access your authentic voice on the page and deal with writer’s block
- Learn how a Yoga practice can help access an inner stillness that supports any creative project
- Use breathing exercises and other mindful activities to increase the mind-body connection
Participants will return home with a better understanding of their inner critic and gain tools to help manage stress and increase joy. No experience with Yoga or writing is required.
