Meeting the Sensual Self: A Yoga Workshop for Women

…inspired by the intimate relationship between asanas, bandhas, breath and the Sensual Self

with Lauran Janes (see bio below)

Saturday, July 19th, 2:15 pm – 4:30 pm

This workshop is designed to help students playfully explore how yoga helps one cultivate vibrant creative energy while deepening the relationship with the Sensual Self. Bring a journal and a pen. This workshop is for anyone who wants to playfully explore sensuality, yoga asana and the joy of cultivating and sharing one’s creative life-energy.

Throughout this two hour workshop you will:

• Define the Sensual Self (knowing, of course, that She can never truly be defined)
• Learn tools to nurture the relationship with your Sensual Self
• Build and sustain energy in first and second chakras during a 75 min Hatha Flow sequence designed to inspire sensual self-expression
• Better understand how to build and move energy with the breath
• Examine the interconnectedness of having healthy self-concepts and having a loving relationship with the Sensual Self
• Listen to stories and poems from various cultures/women celebrating the Sensual Self
• Write a love letter honoring your Sensual Self
• Share, ask questions and connect with others

This is for Advanced Beginner level students and beyond (i.e. a few months or more of yoga experience). Please be aware that female sexuality and physical sensuality will be discussed.
