Yoga For Writers Kindle Edition

Yoga for the mind, body and muse … At the heart of yoga is the concept of balance, but this is often difficult for writers to put into practice. When the words are flowing and the muse is on fire it is hard – no, make that impossible – to turn off the computer or put down the pen. How often have we sat, eyes burning, back aching, shoulders screaming, head bursting, and thought “just one more line, one more paragraph, one more page”? Our bodies are designed to move. Movement is vital for good circulation: massaging vital organs, muscles and joints and getting blood to the brain. Sitting at our desks for long periods of time causes the body to slow down and the mind to become sluggish. But a few minutes refreshing the mind and body with simple yoga stretches and breathing techniques, many of which can be carried out at your desk, helps release stiffness and tension in the body, enhances concentration and improves creative flow. Although aimed at writers and those working at keyboards and screens, this book illustrated with simple line drawings will be of immense benefit and help to anyone who sits for long periods of time. So why not give it a try! Read more
