The yoga of sex, love and intimacy
- linking postural yoga practice to the heartSunday 13 Oct
Live online workshop
Modern yoga has a sex shadow let’s face it. Abuse scandals, repression and sex-laden marketing under a spiritual veneer abound. On top of this Himalayan yogis of old probably didn’t have to deal with the challenges of dating, marriage and having a love life in 2019! Instead of denying this area of human life and pretending we’re monks, how about we incorporate looking at it into our postural yoga practice?
Using the Embodied Yoga Principles method this can be done easily and respectfully, without having to share personal details or go to a creepy eye-gazing guy in Bali.
3 hour online workshop will be recorded,
so if you miss it you can watch afterwards.
6–9pm UK (see timezones below)
On this event you can learn to use asana to:
– Explore healthy boundaries and saying no
– Engage passion and enliven sexuality in our sometimes drab modern world
– Look at our relationship to connection of all kinds
– Bring play into relationships
– Safely be vulnerable
– Both engage with and transcend our desires
– Understand polarity and what makes us attractive and to whom
– Be 17% more gorgeous. FACT
We know there is a ton of yoga available online but the sad truth of it that most of is either the same old approach, new age nonsense, or crap gymnastics. This event though is something genuinely different, useful and enjoyable. It’s not for everyone, but if you want a Western but deep approach to add to what you’re already doing then come along. All the teachers are trained in a method called Embodied Yoga Principles.

how will the event work?
The event will be a Zoom video call session (these are like group Skype calls). Zoom is an online video conference platform- it’s free to use, easy to access and allows the opportunity for you to participate and interact with the speaker and/or other participants.
The session will be 3 hours long.
The Zoom call will be led by experienced teachers, and include opportunities for questions.
The call will be recorded and available for download after the event. That means you can choose to join the live event or listen, and re-listen to the recording of any session at a time that is convenient for you.
If you want to know more about Zoom, how to use it and its possibilities and limitations, we will be sharing an introductory “how to use zoom” video before the event…but basically, it’s free and easy and can be used on many devices – desktops, laptops, tablets and mobiles.
There will also be a private Facebook group for conversations to take place and for other information.
Requirements
• The event will not be athletic and all bodies are very welcome, some sessions may be more physical than others but you can always adapt you your own level of ability and we will offer guidance where necessary.
• No previous experience of yoga, meditation or embodied work is required
• It’s recommended to have a Facebook account as discussion and some resources will be posted there
• A good internet connection helps with Zoom and break-out discussions if you can make the call live
• Remember the call will be recorded and available to download for one week after the event.

Yoga is not about escaping life
Its about engaging in life – more intimately, with care, kindness, sensitivity and strength, courage and creativity with reality – the pains, pleasures, work, relationships, family and friends, and the difficult, ugly sides of life as well as the easy, beautiful or transcendent.
Embodied Yoga Principles Yoga in particular can bring awareness to difficult thoughts, feelings and emotions so if you are currently suffering with mental health issues, now may not be the right time for you to participate in an event like this.
Are you ready to engage with
Yoga for your whole life?

What people say about EYP
Sindre
Oslo, Norway
“Embodied Yoga is a refreshing take on yoga as a method of self-enquiry and transformation. Highly effective for transforming your patterns of behaviour.”
Jane Dancey
Eastbourne, UK
“Embodied Yoga offers a much needed fresh authentic perspective on yoga. It’s not offering an opportunity to float off into spiritual la-la and distance oneself from life’s suffering, on the contrary it encourages the participant to become fully aware and to take responsibility for what is going on in their body and mind, becoming aware of patterns and shadows in a safe supported environment.”
Jo Miller
Kent, UK
“I first experienced EYP on an embodiment for a business week-long course. I was at first skeptical about how this may be done remotely online, but the day event was so impactful in my day to day life that I then went on to do the full EYP Teacher Training course. I’d endorse any training in this via any method.”
Amanda Brown
Cornwall, UK
“EYP brings rigorous self enquiry into my physical practice. It’s a way of bringing self study to life in practical and playful ways. EYP is adaptable, you can use it in simple ways to enhance a general yoga class and in a life changing way in longer workshops.”
