orgasmic yoga embodiment workshop
An introduction to Orgasmic Yoga
Saturday 21 September, 6.30 - 9pm
Yoga and orgasmic are not two words you often hear go together. For most of us, those two things happen in very different settings. Yet the word orgasmic in this context takes on a different meaning. To be orgasmic is living fully present in your body in the moment. It is awareness of your aliveness, sinking into it and letting it guide you. It has us connect more deeply to the internal landscape whether it be our playful nature, our rawness, our softness or the wild within. It leads us to pleasure.
Yoga has the potential to move energy and to change our state of being physiologically, mentally and emotionally. It has the capacity to make the practitioner more present to the moment. It provides a structure which moves like a wave or rhythm much like our own life force. Orgasmic Yoga is a rich combination of these concepts. Using the embodiment tools, orgasmic yoga will create a space and structure for the practitioner to harness their own internal source of aliveness. It will give room to expand these sensations through the body using the five embodiment tools of movement, sound, breath, touch and placement of awareness.
The Embodiment Coach, Yoga Teacher and Somatic Sex Educator, Nirvana Pilkington, will take you to explore these 5 tools with an embodied approach to learning. Nirvana will guide you to curiously explore and inquire into your body’s habits. Nirvana will encourage you to explore new pathways to awaken pleasure and rewire your nervous system. The workshop will also explore the orgasmic yoga framework to assist you in setting up your own home practice. These embodied learning experiences combined with the yoga framework will lead to a class practice (unlike what you know a yoga class to be), that taps you into your own capacity to create states of pleasure and joy at any moment of your life.
Where: Bend and Fly, 1/208 Montague Rd, West End
When: Saturday 21 September, 6.30 - 9.00pm

orgasmic yoga - 4 week workshop
Self Pleasure Circle - Orgasmic Yoga
Monday nights 6.30 - 8.30pm
14, 21, 28 Sept, 4 Nov 2019
4 week workshop
For many, self pleasure has been shrouded in secrecy and been outcome focused. It’s also something that is often explored through self direction. For some this has been delightful while others experiencing feelings littered with links to our lack of self worth and shame. Self pleasure can often be genital focused and derive arousal from external sources like porn. This style of practice may reflect how you show up in the world. It may leave you feeling restricted in how you express yourself, with yourself and others.
Yet, we are born with this life force energy or eros. It’s our creative energy. It moves through us as we create life, art, poetry. It stirs our heart. It connects us to our bodies. When our life force is given space it enhances our relationships. An intentional self pleasure practice can give you focus and purpose. It connects to your aliveness, the present. It brings awareness to our states whether joy, sadness or fear exist there. It lets you hold yourself with tenderness. It brings out your wild. It calms you in the midst of a storm of emotional overwhelm. An intentional self practice is all these things.
Circles have been ways communities have come together to meet, share, connect and support each other. Circles created sacred spaces to shift the collective from the mundane to the divine. Sex and self pleasure have been anchored in our bedrooms and hidden. With the challenges faced in the dating world we are looking for alternatives that help us to grow and open up, not shut us down.
Orgasmic Yoga is a practice that connects us to our eros. It is an intention self pleasure practice. The intention for this workshop is to provide participants with embodiment tools to explore their aliveness. My intention is also to create a safe space in which we demystify the relationship we have to our erotic selves and to explore our own inner landscape in relation to a connection with others around us. Orgasmic yoga is a celebration of our erotic aliveness. It’s to welcome all our emotions and see them all valid as we explore ourselves more deeply.
Each session will spend the first hour connecting with the self, the group, an intention and to the embodiment tools. The second hour will be a gently guided self practice supported by music, soft lighting, our embodiment tools and our yoga mat. At times there will be an invitation to be clothing optional. There will be space for sharing and discussion after.
Where: Suite 2/59 Hardgrave Rd, West End
When: October 14, 21, 28 and November 4.
Cost: $90 for 4 nights
What to bring: Yoga Mat (if you have one), favourite oil, Sarong or towel.
