Pleasure, presence and sensuality (and its barriers) with Vanessa Muradian

Explore the intersectional qualities of pleasure, presence and embodiment in this rich conversation with the luminous Vanessa Muradian (she/they), a sexologist, embodiment explorer, yoga facilitator and founder of womxn-focussed sexuality and wellness business Mia Muse. When Vanessa launched Mia Muse 10 years ago she was filling what she saw as a crucial gap in the market – sex-positivity that was neither far-out nor tacky. Today that offering has expanded to workshops, sensual yoga and sexual education to support womxn on their journey towards intimacy, eroticism and pleasure.  This episode explores:The relationship between masculine and feminine qualities (or yang and yin, shiva and shakti, or active and receptive) within us and our wider worldCultivating and elevating your erotic identityKnowing your pleasure deep listening to your body’s needsHow sensuality has been sexualised, and expanding it to a much broader experience of daily life through our sensesUnlearning and relearning (redefining) our relationship with sensuality and unravelling inherited or cultural beliefsIt’s a full and deep (and sometimes sticky) conversation and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. Find out more about Vanessa over on Mia Muse's website and Instagram.
