Conscious touch

Yoga of touch

The one who gives it is the worshipper, the one who receives it the worshipped.

The approach

Presence with no intention of doing

Through a slow, gentle touch of the whole body, in close contact with the body of the one who offers it, the body reconnects with the unity, the spaciousness and the calm that naturally live in it.

Presence with no intention of doing or of relaxing is deeply restorative in itself, without there being anything to repair.

This tactile exploration through touch is taught during five-day workshops, after three days of yoga practice and meditation in movement. Only within this continuity can the yoga of touch take shape.

“Touch dwells at the highest level of energy as an ineffable, subtle sensation to which the yogi ceaselessly aspires; for contact culminates in a consciousness identical to the pure firmament, shining with its own radiance.”
Abhinavagupta, Tantraloka

The workshop

Conscious touch workshop, or yoga of touch

You learn the scales of a touch that is present, respectful, vibrant and without intention. The yoga of touch can take a thousand forms, from a subtle touch at a distance to the touch of a hand or of the whole body. Boldness, listening, innocence and play, respecting each person's limits, are encouraged.

A clear framework, set out in advance

When we hold a position of power, our actions, our words and our gestures have a strong impact on others. The responsibility of taking care not to abuse this power is at the centre of this teaching, and registration takes place after an initial conversation.
