Kim Fraser Wednesdays, May 1 & 15, 2024

Yoga supports our mind and spirit to become spacious and fluid. Yoga loosens what is being held within.  In this class, we will use yoga, mindfulness practices, and generative writing. Kim will guide you through yoga to move your body, relax your mind, and tap into your creative self. Through a combination of yoga and reflective writing, we will go deeper using the asanas­ as a catalyst for self-discovery. Kim will offer prompts and glimmers to get you started or keep you going–where ever you may be.  As we go through this practice Kim will invite you to listen to your body’s guidance to develop receptivity, awareness, and trust–enabling you to access your own wisdom from within, and to feel yoga’s power to promote free, authentic and imaginative expression.  If you are a writer with a work in progress or have something you want to work on, you are invited to use that in the short writing segments. Regardless, you will get your creative spark ignited.

Please bring your favorite props as well as blocks or a pillow, blanket, yoga mat, journal and writing instrument.
