In yoga, we consider the seven major chakras as possibilities to deepen our understanding of—and presence with—the whole self. When the seven chakras are in balance, life flows smoothly. However, when one chakra is out of balance, life can feel like a runaway train, or even worse, we can feel stuck and powerless. So too can the writing experience.

Writing through the Chakras allows us to move week-by-week to gently engage each chakra to harness the power of a yoga practice. Through moderate movement, easy breathwork and other yogic techniques, we will tap into the seven major wheels of energy that are already spinning and working through your body. Then, we’ll write together using some generative writing prompts connected to that chakric work

. Through that practice, this workshop will deepen your creativity and connection to your writing.
