Beyond romance, love is the foundation of how we relate – to friends, family, and our owninner voice. Many of us show care for others but struggle to extend the same kindnesstoward ourselves. This workshop combines gentle yoga, breathing, neuroscience,introspection, and pair- and group activities to explore how compassion transforms ourinner dialogue and relationships. It also explores the science of love and compassion,guiding participants through practices that nurture self-acceptance, empathy, and deeper,healthier connections within the community.You’ll explore:

The basics of the (neuro)science behind love and compassion.

How to apply non-violent communication with ourselves – replacing judgment withacceptance.

How to practice gentle conscious movement and breathwork for emotional balanceand self-care.

Mantras like “I suffer, please help” and “I know you suffer, I’m here for you” to fostermutual care and love (including journalling)Join us to nurture self-love and build bridges of kindness in the community.What to bring: paper and a pen.
