Baby Cobra Yoga - Bushwick - 47 Thames St. #203, Brooklyn, 11237
Description
This two hour workshop blends the flow of restorative yoga with restorative poetry for a gentle, healing afternoon of writing and movement. We will begin class with a grounding meditation led by Jamie, followed by a poetry workshop with Brooke in the style of her poetry salon "Poetry is Gay". We will go around and do introductions for everyone in the class and share our answer to a basic prompt. Afterward, Brooke will ask follow up questions on everyone's answer and will begin to write down lines people say and form a group collaborative poem on the typewriter. After we will do a short write with a prompt, followed by a longer stretch of individual writing time with several prompts. This will be followed by optional sharing and will lead us into our restorative flow, led by Jamie. We will close out the class with a quiet reflective moment and savasana.
