Writer and editor Bruce Black began studying yoga five years ago,
after his knees could no longer stand the stress of running.
Shortly after taking his first class, he started keeping a journal
to explore his experiences on the mat. Out of his journal and his
devotion to Anusara Yoga has emerged a book that delves into the
nexus of yoga, writing, and life. In Writing Yoga, Bruce begins by
sharing tips he has learned along the way: the benefits of keeping
a practice journal, how to select just the right blank book,
writing at different times of day, how often, and more. He has
organized the book, by theme, into ten chapters, each with guided
writing exercises: Opening Up Moving Past Fear Accepting Gifts
Paying Attention Awakening to Connections Trusting the Process Just
Sitting Finding Your Balance Learning to Breathe Listening to Your
Inner Voice Part memoir, part writing guide, Bruce weaves excerpts
from his own journal throughout. He reflects on practice as life:
the excitement of walking into his first yoga class, apprehension
about bending backwards, discomfort with body appearance, the yoga
of family relationships, the exhilaration of coming into Headstand
for the first time, deepening appreciation for his teachers, and
waking up to the exquisite beauty of the world around him. Bruce
guides you in stepping onto your mat and picking up your journal
with curiosity and commitment. He shows how your journal can become
a good friend, a confidant, a tool to deepen your experience of
asana and pranayama, and a mindfulness practice in itself. Whether
you keep a practice journal already or want to start one, let Bruce
and Writing Yoga guide you. Maybe you'll write a sentence a day,
maybe more. Perhaps you'll come to your journal only now and then.
What matters: exhale and give it a try!
