In the creative poetry workshops, we will read a range of poems, considering shifts in perspective, voice and meaning, in order to write our own. Along with the inclusive yoga sessions, this week will open up spaces for you to shift your perspective and transform your relationship with your writing. You’ll leave the week with a fresh boost of creative energy and inspiration to continue both your writing and your yoga practice. Yoga is suitable for all levels of experience.
