Writing & Yoga Retreats & Workshops in Taos, New Mexico:
> Treat Yourself to a Personal Yoga of Writing Retreat
“Count yourself as one of the privileged few writers if you are able to
attend one of Monique's Yoga of Writing Workshops. Her extensive knowledge
of Classic Yoga along with her impressive experience as a writer create a
cutting edge workshop that helped me reconnect with my voice while
nourishing my body and soul. If I had more money and time, I would be
camping on Monique's doorstep, awaiting my daily inspiration.”
- Shannon Morrison, Ph.D.

The goal of the Yoga of Writing workshops is personal reintegration—a
state of personal clarity from where we discover our voice and story. It is the
freedom from chronic disturbances and symptoms of stress that effect our
immune system, mind, and emotional state. The Yoga of Writing is committed to
helping writers:
- Center a nomadic mind
- Deepen spiritual attentiveness
- Improve physical well-being
- Tap into writer’s flow
- Clarify their vision in a nurturing environment

The Yoga of Writing with Monique Parker
This creative writing and renewal workshop is for writers who have difficulty finding time to write, are creatively blocked, or are looking for time-tested techniques for reconnecting with their authentic voice. In a nurturing environment, we will explore how the practice of yoga and writing together recharge one's creative faculties, and bring greater alignment between body and mind, and ultimately, with one's higher Self.
The Yoga of Writing is for writers who want to explore how breathing and movement can act as a spiritual mentor for releasing story, don't trust their authentic voice, want to turn ideas into great writing, wish to commit to a regular writing practice, and would like a safe place to explore material.
Prior yoga experience is not required; exercises will be adapted to respect the safety and comfort level of each participant. The workshop is open to beginning as well as professional writers.
Pre-registration for this workshop is required through UNM-Taos. There is a one-time admission fee of $15. In-state tuition is $56 for 1 credit hour; and $56 for out-of-state for fewer than 7 credit hours. Please bring a notebook, writing instrument, comfortable clothing, and yoga mat. For additional information, call 505.737-6200.
