Poetry of the Heart Chakra: A Writing & Yoga Pop-Up Workshop with Sarah Martin
About This Workshop
The Poetry of the Chakras is a somatic, creative writing workshop merging poetry, yoga, and meditation to nurture spiritual blossoming. This special edition workshop will guide participants on a journey through heart chakra, drawing on Black and Indigenous nature-inspired poetry. Suitable for beginners and advanced yogis, participants will leave with at least one draft of a poem based on this meditative journey. In addition to writing materials, please bring a mat or prepare a soft surface to practice on for the movement portion of the workshop.
