Pleasure Is Medicine: Breathwork, Massage & Sound Workshop

Pleasure is more than just a nice feeling – it is an incredibly healing and potent nervous-system-soothing medicine that has the potential to change your life!

In this workshop, we will use the powerful tools of breath, movement, massage & sound to delight our senses and reconnect with the pleasure that is always available to every one of us.

The tools and practices we will share with you in this workshop will help you return to a state of bliss whenever you want, regardless of what is going on around you!

WHAT TO EXPECT:

After opening-circle, Francesca will invite us into a “Vacation Into Pleasure” visualization, followed by a slow, juicy breathwork journey focused on dropping into delicious sensations within the body, while gently releasing tension, pain, and stagnant energy.

Then, Your Yoga Friend Rayn will guide you through a floor-based, fully clothed massage & stretch flow anchored around the ancient healing system of Thai massage, connecting our breath, movement & energy to co-create healing, pleasure & play.

From here, we will flow into small group activity focused on consensually giving and receiving what each person is desiring in that moment, whether that is words of affirmation, cuddles, or simply being witnessed.

Finally, we will integrate with a song bath, featuring a variety of instruments and original music. YUMMYYYYYY!

**In this workshop, we will be exploring and expanding our capacity for sensual pleasure using breath, massage and embodiment practices. This workshop will be done clothed, and there will be no sexual touch or activity (although you are invited to use what you learn to enhance future sexual play!)**

Please note…

-This workshop is open to humans of all genders who are committed to co-creating a safe & consensual experience

-Please dress in a way that makes you feel sexy and/or comfy (pajamas and lingerie welcome)

-Bring a pal or pair up with someone new (as the massage practice will be partnered)
