A community opportunity for dedicated connection & exploration of the emotional body through movement, breathwork, voicing, silence, visualization, and other tools. Hosted at the new community space Himmapan Cafe & Community, owned & run by Ocean Teng Throngkitpaisan. <3
This practice is an intimate & intentional dialogue between "you" and your emotional body/energy body/God self. We initiate the conversation with breath & movement, intentional in our communication, our rhythm, our tone. Then we STOP DOING, and simply listen as the subtle body responds: in sensations, in insights, in messages, in EMOTION. Energy - In - Motion.
Although we will be together in a group, this is an individual practice where you are invited to tune into your own experience. Because the answers, the peace, the love we seek is ALL inside. There is nothing outside that will ever fulfill that hunger that gnaws at us, that deep desire, that NEED, to know our (God) self.
More info about this class:
Emotional Liberation & Release (working title) employs techniques from Hatha Yoga, Qigong & Kundalini breathwork to open & activate your emotional/energetic body. These openings are grounded by nervous-system-soothing shapes which invites the potent inner-alchemy to integrate more deeply, creating sustainable change in your life experience. Your Yoga Friend Rayn will be by your side. It is my gift & my life’s purpose to be skillfully & lovingly Here With You.
Who is this for? All humans who desire to invite a deeper, more vibrant reality from a place of inner safety & resilience. No special body type, identity, experience, or ability to pay are needed. Authentic expression, beyond the norms of conventional programming, is highly valued, supported & held in this community. We co-create safety & understanding through open communication, shared vulnerability & personal accountability.
More about your guide:
Hi, I'm Your Yoga Friend, Rayn, and I am here to help you build a relationship of trust with your reality.
Feeling good, feeling safe, and thriving in this life all starts with a strong & discerning relationship with your Self. As our reality expands, cultivating this relationship is becoming more vitally important than ever. The more we understand & trust our internal world, the more expansively we can navigate & thrive in the external. This self-care IS collective care, because self-understanding & personal accountability are the path to the radical systemic changes we desire.
Because this deep deconditioning work pushes the limits of participants’ learning & healing edge, I prioritize creating a safer, trauma-informed container where all people feel safe to explore, express, be witnessed, and be held by the community.
Emotional Liberation & Release is one of the foundational modalities of all my retreats and longer-form experiences. Visit www.YourYogaFriend.com to learn about very frequent by-donation events, weekend retreats, international healing quests, and my very special & intimate 1:1 containers.
