I wanted a hip opening yoga practice to make up for a week spent sitting a lot. Instead I feel like I accidentally walked into a sexual trauma therapy session, delivered by a non licensed practioner. The constant chatter seriously disrupted my ability to focus on the practice and now I feel that I need to do another yoga class because my lower back is still stiff. Please stick to yoga and leave the other stuff out of it and please please please please speak less so I can relax and concentrate on the poses.

This needs a trigger warning! Casual references to sexual abuse come up periodically. This was quite jarring alongside the larger (and much more comforting) message from this class about not being ashamed with pleasure . Trauma-informed approach needed to ensure you don't retraumatise people who are just looking for a nice hip opening class.

Thank you for your input and for sharing your experience. Working with the chakras in a more direct way does involve looking at the traumas that may cause restricted or excessive flow. You do bring up a very valid point that the description of the class could be more clear on this. I will request that it is edited.

An amazing yet challenging class for me. I will come back to this Class to master the highest level of the modifications. Blockages in the thoracic spine got released. And even my headache is disappearing.
