Kama Sutra 101 Workshop
The Kama Sutra is one of the worlds ultimate Love Manuals. In ancient India, sex was celebrated and explored without shame. A Sage, Vatsyayana, went on a journey to explore and discover the sexual practices of this countryfolk in a meticulous guide to sexual etiquette called the Kama Sutra, "The Science of Pleasure". A friend of mine had signed up for a Kama Sutra 101 class with a partner, but found herself planning to attend solo, so she invited me to be her “plus one” for the class. I had no idea what to expect, and I’m sure many of you reading this blog entry will probably find the concept of this class somewhat inappropriate but it was a new experience and I chose to explore it. I arrived early so I got a chance to talk and get to know the ownership of Blissful Lotus, the boutique where the class was held. Stacey and her husband opened this boutique last October and you can tell by talking to her she has followed her bliss by opening this store. The class was intimate (four total) so there were many moments that were slightly awkward when my girlfriend and I were paired up to do some of the exercises (some of which I simply refused). Overall, I found it much like a yoga class, calming with a focus on clearing “mind chatter” (or monkey mind as Stacey referred to it). I could see this being a great learning experience for a committed couple wanting to grow in their intimacy. For two girlfriends, we found ourselves dissolving into giggles more than anything… and being told “ladies, take a deep breath and focus”.
