An exploration of how movement, breath and awareness can empower us to create with more spontaneity.

Inviting physical release and mindful presence can help us embody our creative instincts. The way we move and hold our bodies can either enhance or inhibit creativity. Using meditation, yoga-based movement and a voyage of discovery using colour and marks, this workshop will give you the opportunity to delve into your own creative process in a non-judgmental, nourishing environment.

Opening with a guided sitting meditation, we set the tone for breath and body awareness, anchors that will be revisited throughout the workshop. We will then move through mindful, flowing yoga practice to encourage deeper awareness of the effect of movement on the breath and body. These practices help us to clear blockages and make space to move into creativity. We will then experiment with a range of art materials, using marks and colour with a sense of curiosity, awareness, intuition to create with spontaneity and playfulness.

No artistic experience necessary, this workshop is suitable for everyone.
