Description

The apparent simplicity of Emily Dickinson’s poetry is deceptive—beneath her brief, direct language lies profound depths of emotion and insight. In this three-part yoga series, we’ll explore her life and work through movement, breath, and reflection. Each session will weave selected poems into a gentle and meditative yoga sequence, inviting you to embody Dickinson’s themes of solitude, transformation, and wonder. 

Session 3: Wonder & Interconnection 
Nature, presence, and the divine in everyday life. 
Poems: “Hope is the thing with feathers,” “This is my letter to the world.” 

The practice will be accessible for all—no prior yoga or poetry experience is necessary! Please bring your own yoga mat and be prepared to fill out an activity waiver.

Attendance of previous sessions is not required.
