1400-1500 / NATALIE FREEMAN

WORKSHOP: Yoga for Any Body

This workshop will explore the ways that yoga practices can support young peoples’ relationships and sex education (RSE). The key areas where it can have an impact include healthy relationships, consent, emotional intelligence and self-esteem. Yoga can act as a subtle and indirect toolkit to develop these more ‘experiential’ elements of RSE, as opposed to more factual understanding of, for example, STIs and contraception. There will be a mixture of practices and reflective discussion that should appeal to all audiences.
