So says Liz Ilgenfritz, a holistic sex educator who offers up a crash course on shame-free sexuality. Why is human sexuality so relevant?

Want to befriend your body rather than being at odds with it? Well, Gabriella Espinosa, a menopause mentor and a yoga and somatic movement teacher, is here to guide us on how to connect to our inner wisdom and own our pleasure, power and purpose in midlife and beyond. She explains the practice of somatic movement: deconstructing old arousal patterns and creating new pathways to pleasure in the body. It requires tuning in and really listening to our bodies. And when we do, that’s when we finally connect to our physical needs and live a life that's in full color.
