    Adrien is a yoga teacher and a writer. She found the ritual of combining writing and movement added a layer of creativity to both passions. She loves to inspire others to explore their imagination in yoga practice and various forms of prose. She believes writing doesn't just come from our minds- just like movement/yoga isn't only movement. We write and move from intuition, from our histories, from our experiences.
