Modernists + Movement: Poetry + Yoga

  • The Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts + Sciences 120 Long Beach Boulevard Loveladies, NJ, 08008 USA (map)

Modernist poetry and yoga may seem at first glance like very different disciplines; look closer and you’ll see they have much in common. Both are most productive when approached by warming up—be it physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually—and finding flow and rhythm is key to each experience. Come explore this intersection of body, mind and spirit as we  practice gentle yoga illuminated through the poetry of Marianne Moore, T.S. Eliot, E.E. Cummings and Langston Hughes. The exploration and experimentation of a modernist poem or yoga practice helps guide you to a deeper understanding of the self and the world, and how each are intimately intertwined. To get there, poetry and yoga both require mindful reflection and attention to the precise alignment of words/bodies. Each 90-minute session is suitable for all levels--no prior yoga or poetry experience is required!
