In Touch Yoga

Social distancing has wreaked havoc on mental health; humans need touch to stay healthy. Come get your hug on!

In Touch Yoga is a safe, light-hearted space for adults to exchange safe, healthy, platonic touch.

You've heard of cuddle parties? In Touch Yoga existed first. No pajamas here! This class mixes Tantric meditation with the health benefits of shared touch for an extraordinary experience of well-being.

Numerous studies show the physical and mental health benefits of touch--boosted immune system, lowered blood pressure, increased digestion, slower aging--but many people are not getting the touch they need to stay healthy.  In our culture, touch is associated with relationship, but what if you're not in relationship? Or, what if your relationships don't include all the touch you need? In Touch Yoga provides the safe, healthy, platonic touch you need to feel calm and connected.

"I'm so grateful for In Touch Yoga! I was a little nervous at first, but the exercises are enjoyable and made me feel at ease quickly. At the end of class I feel warm and gooey and ready to take on the world--right after a good nap. Ha ha." - Melissa Temple, Grand Junction

"[Jan] and I met at your class and felt and immediate connection. Now we're dating and falling in love." - Don Black, Grand Junction

FAQs

What sort of exercises make up In Touch Yoga?

A lot of hugging in various flavors and intensities. You'll also be guided to giving and receiving hand, foot and shoulder rubs (ahh), back scratching (yup...that's the spot), and we all end up in one big relaxing Spoon Train. 

Is there an age limit to enter the event?

Yes. In Touch Yoga is for adults 18 and over. Due to the nature of the event, please make other arrangements for your kiddos. 

How is In Touch Yoga related to Tantra?

Tantra recognizes between any two people there is a sacred temple where loving energy is exchanged; we need only to remove any obstacles to love. In this workshop you'll learn about seeing another person as a manifestation of Divine Source energy and about sacred energy exchange in a non-romantic setting. Many people in our society don't get the touch they need to stay healthy--the obstacles are too great. They believe they need to be in romantic partnership, or they aren't in a position to get hugs from family. In Touch Yoga uses Tantric ideas to remove those obstacles and let love flow.
