Cultivating Mindful Intimacy
Presence & Pleasure is a couple’s workshop designed for couples seeking to strengthen emotional and physical intimacy through mindfulness and intentional connection. Guided by Caitlin Navarro (doctor of physical therapy specializing in pelvic health) and Emily Clark (board certified clinical sexologist and intimacy coach), you’ll explore how presence, communication, and embodied awareness can enhance closeness and trust. This workshop offers a supportive space to reconnect with your partner, deepen understanding, and experience pleasure as an expression of shared presence.
What to expect
1. Arousal Anatomy & the Science of Connection
Gain a deeper understanding of the body’s natural arousal pathways and how physical, emotional, and psychological factors interact in intimacy. This segment blends anatomy education with insights from somatic and relational psychology to help partners better understand their own and each other’s bodies.
2. Balancing Yin and Yang Energies
Explore the dynamic interplay of receptive (yin) and active (yang) energies within intimate relationships. Through guided discussion and reflection, couples will learn how to recognize and harmonize these energies—regardless of gender—to create balance, polarity, and flow in their connection.
3. 9D Breathwork Journey
This experiential segment begins with a short 9D Breathwork journey designed to awaken the body and mind through conscious, energizing breath patterns. As participants move into deeper presence, we transition into a guided sensate focus exercise—a mindful, exploration that invites couples to reconnect through touch, curiosity, and attention. Together, these practices help partners drop out of their heads and back into their bodies, reigniting awareness, playfulness, and intimacy.
4. Communication for Emotional Safety and Desire
Learn practical tools for open, compassionate communication that supports vulnerability and curiosity. Couples will practice techniques for expressing needs, setting boundaries, and giving or receiving feedback in ways that foster trust and intimacy.
