Based on Chris Linnares´s upcoming book Hot Body, Happy Mind®, this fun and groundbreaking workshop will take you on fascinating journey through the mind-body connection, presenting cutting – edge research about how a sensual body is truly the best way to achieve a happier mind.
There has been a tendency to interpret sensuality as pertaining more to sexual pleasure than to the truth definition of being connect with your sense and feelings. The word sensual come from the Latin Sensualities which means "capacity for sensation".
We have lost touch with our bodies and the knowledge they contain. Culturally, we learn to value thinking more than feeling. To make matters worse, our minds do not trust our bodies. As a result we lose touch with the wisdom of Nature within us. We throw away the precious gift of the body's knowledge.
When Chris Linnares moved from Brazil to the frozen tundra of Fargo, ND, she not just lost touch with her body, but she lost herself. In that time, while dealing with grief, overweight issues and depression, Chris knew she wasn't alone, because today, depression is number one cause of disability in women and obesity is a global epidemic.
Instead of treating her depression and overweight battles with a bottle of pills, like many people said she should, Linnares craved a more natural and practical way to regain her health and transform her life. That's when she turned to a power our society has long forgotten – one revered by other cultures, and rooted in tradition and science - the power of our bodies.
Even though research clearly shows that keeping our bodies moving helps treat and prevent more than 40 chronic diseases - including obesity, cancer, diabetes, and depression - the numbers show that a lot of women are not aware of the power of their bodies. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, antidepressants are still the most prescribed medication in the U.S.
In a fun and interactive way Chris Linnares shares how she danced her way through the darkest times of her life and reveals fun, practical and scientific ways to create a healthier, happier and sexier life.
It’s time to discover that the best source for the all the energy, happiness and peace we need is not in a bottle of pills... but in our bodies (or as Chris likes to say... in our booties!)
