– Learn the secret health benefits of pleasure that will give you an “edge” in all areas of life

In this interactive workshop for women, you’ll move your body through an amazing yoga practice, tap into your deepest inspirations, and learn the secret of pleasure and why you’ll never lighten up without it.

How To Fall In Love With Your Body Through Yoga and Pleasure:
A Workshop For Women with Jena La Flamme and Aarona Pichinson


September 24, 2011
Saturday, 2:00-5:00pm

YogaWorks Soho
459 Broadway (at Grand), NY, NY
 

$45 Pre-Registration, $55 Day Of
Call 646.442.6203 to register

 

 If you’d like to turn down the volume on your self-critical thoughts about your body and finally experience being happy with how your body looks and feels...

If you secretly know that you hold yourself back because of how you feel about your body, and second-guess your worth...


If you’re holding yourself to impossibly high standards, constantly comparing yourself to others, and hiding your brilliance from the world....


...then it’s time to fall in love with yourself and your body anew through yoga and pleasure.

  

In this 3-hour Saturday afternoon workshop with yoga teacher, Aarona Pichinson, and pleasurable weight loss expert, Jena la Flamme, you will:

 

-  Learn how to feel at home in your body, while quieting the non-stop critical chatter in your head

-  Learn 3 daily self-love rituals that will make you fall in love with your body, no matter how bad your body image has been in the past


-  Discover how to make eating well pleasurable and satisfying, even if you are super busy


-  Learn the never-fail technique to overcome the self-doubt that holds you back from being the powerful woman you know you can be


-  Learn the secret health benefits of pleasure that will give you an “edge” in all areas of life


-  Discover how to ride the fluctuations of your life while still feeling supple, strong and sexy

 

Harness the energy and opportunity that is available to you as a woman when you combine the power of yoga and pleasure.

 

 

 

Remember to register here an  save!

PLUS *****  After the workshop you're invited to stick around and have a bite to eat
with us in the neighborhood and then to return to YogaWorks at 7.45pm
for my favorite dance party in town (no joke) calledGET YOUR DANCE ON.
 

The party describes itself as a "festival, street fair, house party, tea  

 lounge, and temple" all in one, and it's a great place to connect with  

 great people and dance your ass off to DJs and live drums, lounge in

 the saunas (towels + lockers provided), soak up didgeridoo vibes in the

 Didge Project's chill space, indulge in complimentary raw chocolate,

 kombucha, coconut water and elixirs, and connect with an amazing

 high-vibe community.

 

Usually entry to Get Your Dance on is $22, but for the women attending

 our workshop they are kindly offering a massive 55% discount and you'll

 get in for only $10, a total bargain. (I was amazed at how

 generous they were about this as their parties are usually sold out by the

 time the night rolls around.)


And to sweeten the deal even a little more, as an additional bonus for
attending our How to Fall in Love with Your Body Through Yoga &
Pleasure
workshop, you'll get a 3-month scholarship to Jena's upcoming
private online community, The Pleasure Campus, where you have
exclusive access to other amazing women on the pleasure path, and all
kinds of insider resources and training. (What!?!?) 

 

Again, if you want to experience the magic of the secret health benefits
of pleasure, hand-in-hand with an unforgettable yoga class, in addition
to our bonuses, then please don't miss this one-time, live, super-affordable
event at the stunning YogaWorks flagship center in SoHo, on Saturday,
September 24, 2011, 2:00-5:00pm.

 

If you can make it, it would be a true pleasure to spend time together in person.

Warrior Wisdom at YogaWorks Soho

WARRIOR WISDOM FROM THE INSIDE OUT
supple strength, receptive focus, refined freedom

SATURDAY, JULY 23, 2011

2:00-5:00pm

YogaWorks SoHo
459 Broadway (corner of Grand), NY



'Warrior Wisdom' is a balance between a toned yet relaxed inner and outer body. As we ground into the Earth and build a solid foundation, our heart can open as our mind softens, allowing us to feel stable yet light in each pose. We'll warm up with a ton of hip and shoulder openers to prepare the body and move steadily into a vigorous and creative warrior sequence to explore the powerful connection between our feet, core, and heart as we reflect on our personal power on and off the mat. You'll experience standing poses and your own inner compass like never before with a perfect balance of space and strength. Once this balance is discovered there's no looking back! Expect your thighs to burn and your heart to melt.

"I work in a pretty intense environment and your classes really help me to decompress and get rid of stress from the day.

Her passion and experience combines with her knowledge to yield a great force of healing." - Elena Brower
"My life has opened so beautifully since working in this program with Aarona. I 've gained new insight into both my physical and emotional health. I've learned to listen to my body's needs how to use the tools that bring me into balance. This program offers a practice about nurturing and healing the self as it naturally forms into lifestyle habits." - Susan Cianciolo
