Upcoming Life Journey Workshops, Creating a New Perspective
Journaling & Yoga Workshop (a 2-part series):
Saturday, January 31st (Journaling)
February 7th (Yoga) 10am - noon
A new concept for cultivating contentment, joy and empowerment, with unique exercises that allow participants to find creative ways of expressing emotions through their own use of the written word and through body movement.
Each 2-hour workshop includes insightful writing exercises, as well as yoga postures designed to address emotional concerns. Since these emotions are stored in the muscles of the body, stretching and freeing those muscles also helps release excessive or unwanted emotions.
Part 1 in the series focuses on journaling, while incorporating simple yoga movements that can be done conveniently at the home or office. Part 2 concentrates on a comprehensive yoga sequence, with light journaling exercises added to enhance benefits of the practice.
A foundation in yoga or creative writing is not required, and a participant is welcome to choose either workshop (or both) as it suits he or she. All that's needed is a notepad, pen, and for the second workshop a yoga mat or beach towel, comfortable clothing to facilitate movement, and the willingness to express.
Cost: $30 per workshop or $50 for both. Pre-registration required.
