Top 10 Signs You've Been Taking Sensual Yoga Classes

from a student...she agreed that I could share it, so here it is:

10. Every time you change clothes, even to just take a shower, you take your time to slowly peel off layers.

9. You keep making seductive looks at the wall.

8. You find yourself practicing yoga to music with really filthy lyrics and putting together dirty music playlists.

7. Your new moves elicit a,  "Hey, you're blocking the game".

6. There's more and more animal prints in your wardrobe.

5. In your regular yoga class, you catch yourself doing a sultry cat and cow pose and playing with your hair.

4. You make it a point to move ass first wherever possible.

3.  When you see a cop frisking a suspect you start giggling.

2. You aspire to be able to butt wink

1. You suspect these might be a gateway into pole dancing and booty shorts.

Feeling Gratitude for the love email I just received...

I took your sensual yoga workshop over a year ago at Innerstellar and have since moved.  I still feel so indebted to you for the amazingly safe, inviting, and totally authentic experience you provided for all of us women.  Your teachings have stayed with me as I've navigated exciting life changes, the opposite sex, and just life in general.  You are an incredible role model for women.  - JJ

Looking Good, Mama!

Just a few weeks ago I went to a rock concert with some of my favorite girlfriends...mind you I am a decade older than the youngest of these women.  We all got carded, and the bouncer checking my ID stared at it for what felt to me like an eternity.  I started to go into my fear, "OMG, I'm so old he can't even do the math!"   I felt my anger and self righteousness puff up - ready to defend or attack. "Yes, I'm 45 and ancient."  As I opened my mouth to blast him he said very appreciatively and respectfully, "Looking Good, Mama!".  I melted.  I giggled and soaked up the sweetness of being seen as an attractive "40-Something" woman.  I was able to take this in as a complement because I have learned to appreciate my femininity as power.  I used to dismiss men who admired me on the street, and tried to have relationships with "safe" pony-tailed yoga boys.  I'd rage at the yoga boys for not being masculine enough and flip off the men on the street for expressing their masculinity...I was angry and didn't feel empowered. No one was taking my power, I was handing it over unconsciously. This is the gift I want to share with all of you:  strength from feeling a deeper sense of self respect and true self knowledge; pleasure in understanding how vulnerability and power are linked. When we fully own and express our sensuality, we take off inhibitions, shame, guilt, fear, ignorance, and narrow definitions of beauty or sexiness. Our female sensuality is intimately connected to our creativity, our ability to give birth, to give life on all levels. That is true power. I want to encourage you to sign up for Sensual Yoga or Shakti Shop and ask your friends to join you.  I will create the safe and empowering space for transformation and a rockin' good time!  

Come let your hair down, and enjoy a fun yoga flow to great music!

Aho!

I definitely paused before hitting the "register" button for Michelle's Sensual Movement and Pole class. I have always really appreciated and respected Michelle's strong presence and healing energy in the yoga room, but I just didn't know if I was ready to try sensual movement. It only took one class for me to love this new practice in a way that I totally, 100% did not expect. Michelle has created a safe, nurturing space to explore what holds us back from embodying spirit and to find empowerment in body movement. Her vulnerability and truthfulness about her own experience is extremely comforting and makes the class approachable to beginners and more advanced students. I have also appreciated the series format which fosters community building among the women in attendance every week. As a result of the work I have done with Michelle, my personal yoga practice is evolving to incorporate much more of the movement that my body wants and needs, and not what is simply prescribed. While the physical work can be challenging, each class has options so that there is always an element of choice and permission to follow what your body needs on a particular day. I leave each class feeling stronger and more comfortable in my own skin.

Learning to shine our light comes from a willingness to slow down and listen, beyond the noise of our thoughts, habits, and reactions. I see this as self-intimacy. As we release who we think we should be and open to our own vulnerabilities and strengths with equal delight, compassion replaces judgment and fear is embraced by love. Our own self-aware acceptance then permeates our consciousness, until we can no longer see any part of us, or anyone outside of us, as separate. In this letting go of the dense fog of comparison and criticism our natural radiance is like a bonfire surrounded by song.

Ignoring your passion is like dying a slow death... Passion whispers to you through your feelings, beckoning you toward your highest good. Pay attention to what makes you feel energized, connected, stimulated- what gives you your juice. Do what you love, give it back in the form of service, and you will do more than succeed. You will triumph.
