Heather Beal, Dunham Technique

Nana Chinara, Erotic Flow

Erotic Flow is a movement-based workshop that invites you to tap into your erotic power. Drawing on Audre Lorde's "The Uses of the Erotic", you will be led through indulgent invitations to explore the feelings of pleasure, joy, love, bliss, and more within your body. We will co-conjure free expression of our sweetest desires. Less of a class, and more like a guided dance party. We will create a love language with our bodies, opening our hearts and unapologetically pouring into ourselves.
