About Intersections

“Intersections” is a publication that grew out of “Yoga Stories,” a yoga and writing workshop at Union Street Yoga in Worcester, MA. The yoga practice is led by Heidi Chase, and the writing practice is led by Diane Mulligan.

This is how Heidi describes the series:

The Yoga Stories workshop series combines creative writing and yoga wisdom. It is about diving deeply into the practice. With a commitment to yoga and writing, we create the intention to express our heart’s deepest desires; on the mat through specific movements and meditation, and off the mat through our stories.

Yoga and writing are both a process, allowing space for a mindful relationship to develop between the inner world and the outer world. Each breath and posture create the possibility of transforming the chaos, the sadness, the questions, and the lessons into a powerful creative endeavor. With compassion and curiosity, every posture, every paragraph, each poem and prana bring us closer to our true nature.
