I use yoga and meditation to prepare myself for the mental and physical challenge of writing my novels. I introduce this podcast by talking about the importance of yoga and how it helps to open a writer's creativity, and to prevent fatigue from sitting for long periods. I describe several stretching techniques you can do throughout your writing day. Then I talk you through a 20 minute yoga practice sequence for you to follow along with the exercises. The postures should leave you feeling energized and creative -- ready to write! I think this is useful for people who already know the postures, but I've tried to make it simple enough for beginners too. The postures I chose focus on heart opening and opening the pelvis, both areas that are important for creativity. But I'd be happy to hear if there are other postures you think I should've included.
