Elements of Tantra Massage and Bodywork - with Andy
Seven Dials Playhouse, 1A Tower Street, London, GBThis workshop will enable you to learn some skills and tools so that you can explore connecting with yourself and others through tantric touch and massage. We will integrate tantric philosophy, shiatsu, acupressure, reiki and oil massage. Book your space here.
After arriving and settling with a grounding practice and short meditation, we will lay out boundaries and agreements to ensure a safe and heart-centred space. We will then be ready to climb down deeper into our bodies, opening up, stretching and awakening lifeforce with do-in, qi gong and other movement practices. We'll then move into sensual connection with each other through gentle and thoughtful exercises, an undressing ritual and some simple bodywork and massage.
Please note that nudity is involved in some of the workshop.

TRE® Tension Release to Relax
Anomalous Space,, 38 Pentonville Road, London N1 9HF, London, GBThis class offers an opportunity to learn simple and profound techniques to calm the body's stress response and reset the nervous system so that it is more relaxed, balanced and stable. We will work with the tools on our own and if desired, also offer support and consensual, healing touch in pairs.
There will also be an opportunity to discover how the subconscious mind impacts the nervous system, our thinking and our behaviour and how we can work with the subconscious mind to live more freely.
TRE® is one of the tools we'll explore. It uses simple and safe exercises that enable the body to access and release deep tension, stress and trauma patterns from the body. The exercises safely activate the natural and innate reflex of vibrating/tremoring/shaking in the muscles to release tension and calm the nervous system. When this movement happens in a safe and controlled environment, the body can find its way back into balance.
This class is for you if:- you want to feel more connected to your body and less in your head
- you are interested in learning a powerful technique that you can use for the rest of your life to manage stress and tension as nature intended
- you want to let go of narratives, stories, limiting beliefs and find more freedom to be yourself
