The Yoga of Writing Consultations“I attended Monique's Yoga of Writing retreat in September of 2008. When I got to New Mexico, I was feeling unmotivated and blocked as a writer. Monique convinced me to start offering phone mentoring for writers, something which I had been considering for years but was too scared to start. The idea of coaching writers was exciting, and I was so motivated that I started promoting my new services as soon as I got back. Within three days, I had three clients! Not only that, but I got assignments from two national magazines just after I returned home, and I think the change in my mindset and newfound motivation had something to do with it. Now I do the yoga practice that Monique gave me every morning and I fly through the day feeling great.”

Want to transform your writing practice into an exercise of spiritual renewal? What if you had a personal practice that relieved tension and enhanced concentration? That helped clear the mind and relax the body so that words flowed effortlessly? If your writing practice doesn’t currently begin, end, or include a break for physical and mental reintegration, consider developing a personalized Yoga of Writing practice. In these consultations, Monique addresses writer’s block by working with you to develop an optimal level of mental, physical and spiritual fitness. We consider such things as age, health, strength, flexibility, congenital issues, diet, physical imbalances, chronic disease, injuries, stress levels, writing goals, mental distractions, and spiritual orientation in order to customize a Yoga of Writing practice that works for you. While each person’s practice is unique to their orientation and goals, a Yoga of Writing practice might include: laugh therapy, sounding, myofascial self-release, pranayama (breathing exercises), Vedic chanting, gesture, mantra japa (repeating sacred words or sounds), contemplative prayer, meditation, asana (physical exercises), walking meditation, candle gazing, sentence prompting, and warm-up meditative journaling. In-person 1 hour: $150; In-person 1.5 hour: $200 By phone/mail: $250, Includes:

Yoga Therapy Consultations“I was feeling a little crispy around the edges while trying to pursue my writing goals, making a living, and raise my daughter, so when friend suggested I join her at The Yoga of Writing retreat, I jumped at the chance, even though I'm just a beginner at yoga. Monique adapted the exercises to my abilities and needs, and gave me a personal practice to pursue at home. Our creativity consultations helped me see my path more clearly, and she encouraged and supported my endeavors with useful and practical advice. She even developed a yoga/meditation practice for me to use before and after writing sessions so that I could transition from one thing to another, which has already helped my productivity. Between the yoga practice and the creativity work, I left New Mexico feeling renewed, refreshed, and ready for anything!” - Jennifer Lawler, author of the Dojo Wisdom Series, www.jenniferlawler.com

Writers can not ignore their physical health. Are you a writer who is an experienced yoga practitioner who wants to deepen her practice or address an injury through yoga therapy? Perhaps you are a writer with little or no prior yoga experience, but wants to relieve low back pain or tension related to the neck and shoulders. Or, maybe you have a specific complaint, such as a muscle-bound body, digestive problems, PMS, headaches, scoliosis, chronic anxiety, tight joints, difficulty breathing, insomnia, a thyroid condition, or emotional imbalance. Through the time-tested, ancient discipline of yoga therapy, we adapt classical asanas or exercises to address your specific conditions and goals. In these private yoga therapy consultations, Monique works with you to develop a comprehensive sequence of exercises that will equally develop strength, flexibility, structural alignment, proper functioning of internal systems, and mental steadiness. These sessions are tailored to your specific needs, utilizing components of classical yoga such as asana (therapeutic stretching,) prayer, meditation, sounding, gesture, Vedic chanting, laugh therapy, humming, pranayama (breathing exercises), mantra japa (repeating sacred words or sounds), and contemplative prayer. In-person 1 hour: $150 In-person; 1.5 hour: $200 By phone/mail: $250, Includes:
