“What happens when something in your desire shifts or changes, something that you believed defined you? What happens when you’re afraid? What happens when you desire or love where you shouldn’t? What happens if you don’t desire where you love? Or if you don’t love where you desire?”
Autumn Needles draws from the philosophy of yoga and lessons from her own life to contemplate body awareness and image, sex and sexuality, and how we shift through layers of belief, desire and taboo in search of truth. Weaving her observations with personal stories—raw and honest, silly and sexy—Autumn suggests ways to explore our own inner landscapes to surmount our boundaries and fears. Look elsewhere for a guide to tantric yoga or sexual acrobatics. This courageous little book is a must-read for sexually adventurous truth-seekers.
“I have always had the feeling that we are working from a script, either consciously or unconsciously, when we talk to one another on certain topics,” Autumn says. “Sex and sexuality, body image and comfort, relationships—these are all particular areas that we carefully dance around in highly choreographed ways. I can't keep from sniffing around looking for the truth beneath the script … When I see so many people hurting—because they hate their bodies or because they are confused and conflicted about sex or because they can't seem to find the right kind of relationship—I want to make that better somehow, or at least to give people a door into a different way of thinking. For me, the door was thoughtful exploration using yogic principles as a guide. I hope Yogic Bliss and Sexual Healing provides some relief or comfort to others, or at least a fun, thought-provoking read.”
Autumn Needles, RYT, began practicing yoga at age 12 for its physical healing properties and was hooked by its calming and centering effects as well as for its integrative life philosophy. She received her yoga instructor certification from the Nosara Yoga Institute in 2006 and has been teaching ever since.
