((( Y4W ))) Yoga for Writers, Third Edition: With Mark Morford
((( Y4W ))) Yoga for Writers, Third Edition: With Mark Morford
San Francisco Writer's Grotto
San Francisco, CA
WHAT: One part energized yoga class, one part fearless creative writing workshop, taking turns with each, blurring the edges of both. What will emerge? How will your voice change? Can a good backbend scandalize your boring syntax?
WHY: In this workshop, I've created some dynamic asana sequences to alternate with bursts of specific writing exercises to explore how a vigorous yoga practice, one that aims to free the body's locked-up energy, release the ego's death grip on some of our most entrenched patterns and open up the fifth chakra (Vishuddha) of confident self-expression, can actually inspire and liberate your creative voice. And vice-versa.
WHO: The SF Chronicle's award-winning columnist, author (The Daring Spectacle: Adventures in Deviant Journalism) and ERYT-500 Vinyasa yoga teacher Mark Morford will encourage you to write, then practice, then write again, with some (optional) reading aloud and very few group hugs.
Bring a fully charged laptop (or a notebook) a mat and a towel. It's going to get... verbose.
CAVEAT: Not for absolute yoga beginners. Assumes moderate level of physical ability and yoga experience. However, all types of creative writers/writing are welcome. Even poets.
------------------------------------------
NOTE: To keep things appropriately writerly and intimate (and because the Grotto's main room just ain't that big), class size is VERY limited. What's more, the first two Y4W workshops SOLD OUT. Why wait? Get your ticket soon!
