What to Expect
Join Brighton author and yoga teacher Sophie Tanner for a unique six-week course blending yoga philosophy with creative writing practice.
Each 90-minute session begins with grounding meditation and breathwork, moves into guided writing prompts and reflective exercises, and closes with gentle stretches to ease “writer’s hunch” and bring balance back to the body. You’ll leave each week with inspiring take-home practices to keep your creativity flowing between sessions.
Together, we’ll explore yogic principles such as Ahimsa (self-compassion), Satya (authentic voice), and Santosha (contentment) to help you quiet the inner critic, trust your words, and rediscover joy in the process of writing.
You don’t need to be a yogi or a published writer, just bring a notebook, an open mind, and the willingness to play on the page. This is a supportive, welcoming environment for anyone seeking inspiration, balance, and flow.
Weekly Themes
Week 1: Intention & Discipline: Set your creative Sankalpa and learn to build a writing habit with warmth and consistency.
Week 2: Self-Compassion: Quiet your inner critic and find kinder ways to move through blocks and off-days.
Week 3: Authentic Voice: Write with honesty and freedom, trusting your words and letting go of comparison.
Week 4: Releasing Perfectionism: Enjoy the process, release outcomes, and embrace imperfect drafts.
Week 5: Energy & Reflection: Channel creative energy wisely and use journaling as a tool for self-study.
Week 6: Joy & Surrender: Celebrate your journey, honour your words, and embrace contentment in the process.
