A unique way to celebrate Valentine's Day for couples & singles of all levels/experience.
What's Valentine's Day? It has different meanings for different people. Generally, a day to celebrate LOVE and relationships. Sometimes an uncomfortable and lonely day for those who are not in a romantic partnership. We'd like to support the celebration of all kinds of love and offer an opportunity for both singles and couples to connect more authentically, sweetly and deeply for Valentine's Day 2025. Come join us!
What will happen here? FUN! Something unique and different, fun and flirty. We'll light 100+ candles and sprinkle some rose petals, play specially selected music to influence the mood and then guide you through some connecting practices that are more about talking and touch than yoga poses. Seriously, no yoga poses here! Did we mention it will be fun!?! �
A Puja is a tantric ceremony, worship; a facilitated event where we guide you through exercises (see below) designed to practice and play, see and be seen, create an authentic connection with another beautiful human.
Couples will experience the exercises of the guided journey with only their partner.
Singles will experience an exercise with another single 'practice' partner, then rotate to the next partner for the next exercise.
Who is it for? Adventurous, curious , adult SINGLES and COUPLES of all levels of experience with tantra, yoga or personal development who want to spend the evening celebrating Valentine's creating a magical connection to deeper intimacy and a spiritual path in union with themselves, others and the divine.
What to bring: Your curiosity and enthusiasm, a snack to share, a bottle of water to stay deliciously hydrated, padded mat, blankets, and pillows to create a comfy nest for sitting and lying on the floor most of the evening. Other special items to bring will be listed in your confirmation and reminder emails.
What to wear: RED? � Dress in fabrics and styles that make you feel comfortable, glowing, and beautiful! Any colour that makes you feel like this is PERFECT! We suggest layers allowing you to reveal that which you'd like to have adored and appreciated, according to your comfort level during those exercises involving physical touch. FRESH BREATH is sexy! Come freshly showered and not heavily fragranced as you'll be in close proximity to your partner(s) and some participants are allergic/sensitive.
