Our last official Squish before Rainy heads down to Guatemala for the season. Returning January 8th 2027.We have been squishing almost every Friday morning since January 2024! Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this magical & life-changing cocreation!
SquishLab is a facilitated space to practice navigating connection through touch (or even proximity). Supported with concepts from play school, partner yoga, and our own childlike wisdom, in a trauma-informed container where everyone is safe to explore self-consent, boundary expression, communication, and so much more.
Come alone or bring friends - we will partner/group up as it flows. Opening circle includes group agreements & procedural language practice like making requests and offers & practice saying and receiving "no". Then the facilitator guides us into (always optional) partner/group stretching/snuggling flows, including SquishLab favorites Friendship Flower, Squash Blossom & Lovezagna. Eventually we naturally squosh into more of a free play vibe where we glob into different stacks and piles as is natural.
This space is so rich - come check it out. We are here to offer suggestions, demonstrate movements, & support your learning & healing process. Opt in and out as feels comfortable. It's totally chill to just hang out & observe. This is all about your own internal experience in these contexts of shared space and deeper layers of connection.
This squish will take place at our beautiful indoor space on NE 18th & Burnside.
We have plenty of squish on hand but you are welcome to bring a yoga mat/blanket, and or stuffie if that feels good to you.
The requested exchange is $10-30 via Venmo @YourYogaFriend or cash in person. Please contribute what you reasonably can to support this important community space. Is the exchange a block to you coming? Please reach out.
Squish events take place all over the city (and beyond) in the form of 2-hour workshops, slumber parties, cuddle concerts, camping trips, and weeklong retreats. We squish somewhere almost every week, check the calendar to see where we are squishing next.
