  SHINÉ YOGA/MOVING POETICS

​Yoga-based movement classes, recorded during the pandemic to companion the weekly entries in Thinking Feelingly: Somatic Approaches to Poetry. You'll have access to 50 classes exploring an embodied experience of poetry.

Allow the rhythm and resonance of poetic language to seep into the body, a different and much deeper way of absorbing truth and beauty. Poignant images and sing-song phrases from these poems are much more likely to enliven and provide meaning to everyday life when they make their way past our rational "thinky" brain and into deeper, more primal layers of reflection and feeling.
​

Each class includes:
  • an hour-long yoga practice exploring poetry selected for a moment on the calendar or a movement of nature
  • a music playlist lovingly compiled to evoke the poem's ambiance, designed to match the physical practice
  • a short reflection on the poetic themes, imagery, and language play
  • a skeletal breakdown of the sequence, for your reference
