Join me as I sit down with Naked Yoga Facilitator, Rikki Yeowart. as we talk about what Naked Yoga actually is (it's not what you may be thinking!) and the journey of liberating our bodies from shame, embarrassment, inhibition, and learning to embrace our bodies with real self acceptance.  Rikki shares her journey from being a Dancer to becoming a Naked Yoga and Naked Awakening Retreats Facilitator, Sex, Love and Relationship Coach, and Embodiment Mentor. In this deeply personal conversation, Rikki explores how heartbreak, societal conditioning, and years of performance-based living and loving led her to reconnect with her body, alchemise sexual shame, and embrace body-based liberation. Discover how her workshops create safe, sacred, and shame-free spaces where participants can explore nudity, presence, and self-expression in a non-sexualized, and truly heart healing way. Rikki also shares insights on listening to your body, navigating intimacy and relationships, and reclaiming pleasure, confidence, and personal boundaries. Together we dive deep into overcoming the challenges with social media censorship of body-positive and pleasure-positive education, the power of curiosity, conscious communication, and the importance of community in healing. Honestly, if you’ve ever wanted to feel more embodied, empowered, and free in your own skin, this episode is a masterclass in presence, self-acceptance, and liberation.    Resources Mentioned: Layla Martin, Emily Nagoski (Come As You Are), Regena Thomashauer, aka; Mama Gena (Pussy: A Reclamation), Esther Perel, Jamila Jamil, Make Love Not Porn.     === GUEST LINKS:   Website: http://www.rikkiyeowart.com.au Speak to be Understood waitlist: https://rikki-yeowart.aweb.page/p/ca6ca78d-5325-4e30-bea7-8235d64d4d00  Love Yourself First Workbook: https://rikkiyeowart.thrivecart.com/love-yourself/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rikkiyeowart/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rik.james.10    . === •Website: vilates.com •Sensual Activation Meditation Suite: www.vilates.com/sensualactivationsuite/p/sensual-activation-suite •FREE Breast Massage Meditation: www.vilates.com/free-breast-massage-meditation •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vilates_/ •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3fs2KlkHNzICKAg2crZSMB •Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ecology-of-intimacy-podcast/id1772602980     === . . . .
