Building Better Body Connections Class with Valerie Schrader

A 90-minute workshop to build a relationship with your body that feels deliciously powerful. Having a better relationship with your body helps relieve stress, ease chronic pain, increase confidence, increase orgasm and pleasure, increase flexibility and range of motion, and aid in digestion, creativity, and clarity. Imagine fully relaxing, getting out of your head, and telling precisely what you need and why you need it with the confidence to say it after just a 5-10 minute practice of connecting with your body. This workshop will teach you practical techniques for working with your body that you can do every day regardless of how busy you are.
