East Bay Community Space
507 55th street,
Oakland, California
Do you want to transmit more love and authentic emotional
expression through your body while in deep connection with a partner?
Do you want to play with masculine/feminine energies in
your romantic relationships to create more electricity through sexual polarity?
Come uncover your true desires for relationship and find
how to access your sexual essence to create more love in any moment.
Just like in asana yoga you must practice on a regular
basis to maintain your flexibility, strength, and concentration, so too must
you practice sexual yoga in the same way. Having a one-off experience is fun
and a wonderful way to spend time, but if you really want to see change in your
relationships, how you feel in your body, and how you relate to sex and love
you need to practice often. I offer these mini workshops monthly as a way to
support those in community who want to keep their relationships alive and fully
embodied. Some practices and themes will overlap and other nuances will change
each month.
When we play with the sexual essences of masculine
(consciousness) and feminine (energy), we can learn to create love and beauty
in any moment. As we learn to fully embody one pole, we can draw out the other
pole in our lover and create moments full of depth and spark. As we deepen in
this practice of sexual polarity we learn to bring our desires, fears,
complaints, hurts, and longings to the world with an artfulness that opens
ourselves as well as those we love.
Whether you are in a relationship, single, poly, hetero
or LGBTQ+ this workshop will lead you through embodiment and breath practices
that open your heart, drop you into desire and consciousness, and express your
heart's deepest yearnings through the tool of your body.
Using practices drawn from authentic relating, sacred
masculine/feminine embodiment, inner child work, and therapeutic techniques,
this mini-workshop is sure to leave you feeling more open-hearted and in touch
with your deepest feelings about what you wish to create in your relationship
life and more bodily capacity to create that.
Doors open at 7:15pm. Hard start at 7:30pm. Doors will
lock at 7:31pm to create a secure and safe container so we can go deep.
Couples, singles, and people of all gender and sexual
orientations welcome. We will be practicing with masculine and feminine
energies so we ask that, regardless of what gender you identify with, you
choose ONE pole (masculine or feminine) to work with during the evening. We
will strive to create a balance of feminine and masculine practitioners. If you
come with a partner please be aware that you may also be practicing with others
during the evening. The more you hone the tool of your body for expression and
awareness, the more you can bring that back to your partnership to enliven your
relationship.
WHAT WE DO:
Feminine practitioners will explore embodying different
archetypal aspects of the goddess and masculine practitioners will explore
embodying elements of the divine masculine/God consciousness. We will then
explore what it is like to embody these energies while connecting to another
soul through the lens of polarity. What happens when the embodied divine
feminine comes into contact with the embodied divine masculine? Each event
there is a different theme and different energies to embody that will be
revealed at the event.
MESSAGE TO COUPLES:
You will practice with other people even with you come
with a partner, though you will get to experience the more intense or
vulnerable moments with your partner.
Please wear clothes you are comfortable moving and
standing in. Bring layers as once we are moving in practice it can get hot!
There will be NO nudity or touching of erogenous zones in
this workshop. This is a safe space to explore the ENERGY of sexual expression
and love through breath and body. We pride ourselves in creating a safe
container to move through what has been keeping you stuck in relationship so
that you can leave able to create more love.
