Sensual Yoga

Sensual yoga is an opportunity for queer folks, survivors of violence, and other experiencers of trauma to explore sensual healing. This ceremony will be a combination of exploring yoga and pranayama (breathwork), the comfortability of being naked and around other naked bodies, and medicinal supplements. This space is intentionally created to discover, interact, and heal through experiencing sensuality. The embodiment of the erotic and pleasure can provide a space for folks to discover what self-work can look like for an individual attempting to heal. While there is a healing moment for overt sexual activity, this is not the intention of the space. Through individual practice, the space is to find men and non-binary folks who are looking for healing to discover what nudity and sensuality can bring for self-discovery. The Practice: Parreling the journey with earth-based medicine, students will be guided through a physical practice focused on grounding, balance, and building heat. Practitioners will also engage in slowing down into meditation with more restorative postures. The practice culminates in providing an opportunity for self-reflection and growth. The Medicine: Medicinal supplements, which do not need to be consumed during the practice to participate, are an opportunity to add an additional layer of the physical, mental, and emotional practice of yoga. Individual assessments will be conducted to create an experience specific to the desires and boundaries of the practitioner.
