Finding Pleasure in the Body You’re in
So often we're told that we can find pleasure when... when we lose x pounds, when we "sculpt" our bodies, when we "get lean," when we change our bodies. In this workshop, we'll explore how to find pleasure in the bodies we're in right now, without needing to change anything.
The 90 minute workshop will start with a guided group meditation. Then we'll explore moving our bodies in ways that actually feel good, rather than moving in the ways we think we should. We'll move through a slow-flow Vinyasa practice together, with plenty of space to explore each shape and find variations that feel good in your body.
We'll end our practice with another guided meditation, focusing on cultivating pleasure.
After practice (last 30+ minutes of the workshop) attendees are invited to mingle and check out a curated selection of pleasure-focused products, books, and resources from Earth+Salt.
