Workshop: Yoga & Writing

The Stress Free Zone and Center for Creativity team up for a Yoga & Writing Workshop.

Co-led by Hallie Stotsky (Stress Free Zone) and Erik Schuckers (Center for Creativity), this unique workshop begins with 60 minutes of yoga for all levels where participants practice moving their bodies and connecting their breath to clear their minds. The group then moves through creative sequences with modifications for all body types.

Notebooks are provided so that participants can make brief notes of images, thoughts, and feelings that arise as they practice. These notes then serve as the basis for two to three guided creative, expressive writing exercises following the movement practice.

After the yoga and writing, stay around to enjoy refreshments and reflect on your experience with other participants.

Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in, and come with an open mind!

This workshop is free and open to all members of the University of Pittsburgh community: students, faculty, and staff. No previous experience with yoga or writing required: all materials, including yoga mats and notebooks, will be provided.

Funding for this workshop has been provided through Pitt's Year of Healthy U.
