Instructor: Mimi Cross
Would you like to reduce stress? Do you want to grow your creativity? If so, this 75-minute class taught by published author and certified yoga instructor, Mimi Cross, is for you! We begin Relax into Writing with a centering warm-up consisting of gentle stretches and attention to breath, followed by a guided 15 to 20-minute deep relaxation meditation. In this state of relaxation and body awareness, we learn how to sense blocks within the body through the technique of scanning. After the body scan, we transition from relaxing to writing, to transform blocks into stories. If you write or want to write, learning how to translate the tension and tightness you are holding in your body into new creative treasures will transform your creative process!
MATERIALS NEEDED
One full-size 8×10 inch or 8×11 inch notebook and a favorite pen or pencil. Wear loose, comfortable clothing, and feel free to bring a blanket or cushion.
No previous experience with meditation or creative writing necessary!
