Yoga for Writing with Stella Duffy
Yoga is not about getting the poses right, writing is not about getting the words right, they’re both about giving it a go.
We will connect yoga poses to writing exercises, exploring the physical nature of writing and how opening up body and breath can support our creativity.
This workshop is suitable for all levels of yoga and writing practice, and we welcome you to stay on after for lunch in our café to talk about your work with Stella and each other.

Praise for a short online version of this workshop:
I really enjoyed it. Have been playing with embodiment, moving and recently writing from feeling - so good to have a conscious, held space for this.
Morgan, visual artist
Thank you for the workshop today, it was a blissful experience. Yoga is usually an emotional and joyful experience for me, but to see writing (which usually terrifies me) as a similar process is astounding revelation.
Martina, yogi
It was so good, I’m a yoga person, not really a writer but I was surprised at how easily the words flowed out of me.
Claire, yogi
Thank you. Fab yoga and writing workshop, brilliant for the body AND the mind.
