With the busyness and chaos of life, it’s easy to feel disconnected from our own body and emotions, and find ourselves reacting to everything that is thrown at us. We feel victimized and disempowered, and often find ourselves looking to blame anyone around us for our unhappiness. And all too often that unintentionally gets directed at the ones we love most. Our stress hormones get triggered by a simple thought or situation, and we go into survival mode, where we no longer feel safe to create or experience pleasure.
In this weekly class, we’ll practice some fundamental tantric breathing techniques, which will activate our energy as well as our physical body. We’ll work with our body chemistry to come back to our center, find our inner balance and strength, and unlock the sensual magic hidden within our cells. We will use breath, (personal) touch, guided meditation + movement, and energy work to activate the parasympathetic nervous system—rest + digest—and release our codependent tendency to expect anyone or anything outside of ourselves to generate our happiness. Our bodies are magical little pharmaceutical factories and tantric breath work is a delicious way to tune in to that. We will start to better hear our inner intuitive voice over the loudness of society, and we’ll begin to create new neural pathways so when you say your affirmations in the mirror, your cells will actually believe you! And as we begin to feel this erotic, magnetic empowerment within ourselves, it will so easily translate to deeper, more soulful, sensual connection with others. Now we can create and experience pleasure.
Every week we’ll start with some of the same basic techniques to help you get comfortable with creating your own practice. After our basics we’ll build on this with other somatic exercises, movement, energy clearing, and more as we dive into the curated topic for the week.
