The Art of Now: A Yoga and Poetry Sensory Workshop

Ash Baker

Creative Writing Workshop: All Levels

Creative writing, like a dedicated yoga practice, draws from the full range of ways we perceive the world. Yogic philosophy outlines five “koshas,” or layers of awareness, from the body and physical environment to connection to bliss and the divine. This holistic practice develops our ability to witness our experiences and sensations so we can find beauty and inspiration from what, without the practice, can seem mundane.

By offering tools that feel simple, accessible, and sustainable, this 2-hour poetry workshop will help students create space for artistic expression by drawing on mindfulness practices and yoga postures that open channels for creative energy. Beginning with a short meditation and gentle movement to support participants in arriving in the present moment, the group will then be invited to respond to one of several writing prompts.

Please bring a notebook for writing, pen or pencil, yoga mat, and water bottle.
