Pleasure Yoga & Sharing
- 4 minsWhat, where and when?
I wanted to create a space where you can explore unguided authentic movement and fulfill your need for connection at the same time.
In most yoga classes, I am missing 2 things. First, the lack of connection to others. Everyone tends to do their practice and then go home. Second, authenticity. I don’t feel like I fit in at many traditional yoga poses and (meta-)structures. There is already a shift taking place from rigid practice & authority to invitation and care, and I believe we can take an even bigger step.
That’s why I provide a space which uses facilitated sharing to connect and feel good with the group. To then transition into unguided pleasure yoga.
The event will be between 10.45 and 13.30 on the 10th of April 2026 at Common Ground Amsterdam.
Address: Zeeburgerdijk 265, 1095 AC Amsterdam We meet outside

About the Sharing: We will do freeform uninterrupted sharing for a set amount of time. Listener observes themselves as well as the one who shares and shares impact at the end. We take time to ground between sharings. Format might differ slightly each session (also depending on who showes up).
This is a great exercise for anyone. How often do you get the chance to share without being interrupted and having someone be there, just for you? And even if you have people like that in your life - the chance to practice this in a dedicated container can help you increase the quality of both your sharing and your listening. How much space do you allow youself to take up while sharing? Can you observe facial expressions of the other while feeling your own emotions?
Depending on the group I might include some intentional choosing dynamics. With whom do you feel drawn to share right now?
About Pleasure Yoga. It is the art of moving your body in a way that feels good. Pleasureable. Whether it’s lying in total stillness, massaging your face or rolling around on the floor. It is a shift in focus from traditional yoga while keeping presence alive (allowing yourself to enjoy can still be quite challenging!) A little dance is welcome too. I’ll describe it in more detail at the event.
It’s not about sexual pleasure, if that wasn’t clear from the description yet. The space does stretch the social boundary a bit (if you want to massage your butt or make some moaning sounds – that is welcome). The boundary is anything that disturbes another person in the space too much (always feel free to contact me in the space about this).
Break. Invitation is to do something that helps you transition. You can bring your breakfast to eat it mindfully, listen to some music, journal, drink tea etc.
Cost
This event is unconditionally given. That means it’s a gift to the world from me, and I have no expectation of reciprocity (If I do somehow, please contact me with your feedback.)
I make this happen by personally funding my events as well as spending a huge amount of (unseen) time on organizing.
I welcome energy exchange. I’ll lovingly accept your gift of food or money. Perhaps you’d like to offer me a massage or sound healing. Teach or lend me a skill, offer me to use your canoe during summer or whatever else you come up with 😇.
The best way to offer energy exchange is is to send me an e-mail (and let me know if your offer extends to the spaceholders too).
If you wish to offer money the best way is to give me some cash at the event. I also have a donation page.
And again. Please don’t feel pressured to donate. I wish to invert the dynamic. If we receive a lot of love unconditionally, doesn’t it become much easier to give as well?
Unconditional?
I am far from enlightened and thus my events are far from truly unconditional. I am merely trying to take a significant step in that direction and observe how this style of organizing can impact the world and myself. I see myself as imperfect and I am getting better and better at allowing myself to make mistakes. That being said, I try to keep a high and humble standard for what I do. If you notice that I fail to meet the integrity check I am open to receive honest feedback.
