sacred union - couples intimate experience
Come together with your lover in this three hour ceremonial container designed to awaken the god and goddess within you, and to witness your partner in this divine role as your sacred communion counterpart.
We will move our bodies in an intuitive primal yoga flow. We will breathe the ecstatic life force of the universe deep into our earthly vessels invigorating our being. We will engage in ceremonial neo-tantric inspired practices that serve to deepen and strengthen the connection between lovers. We will create deep presence and reverence through the honouring of our intimate partners for the god and goddess that lives within them, waiting to be witnessed, celebrated, and ravished.
Come join Ian and I in this sacred and playful gathering of lovers who wish to deepen their connection to each other and to the powerful, healing expression of Eros

Why do i hold events like these?
The past few years have magnified a global crisis… We as a collective are facing a “Global Intimacy Disorder” and cure is a radical love story.
When we choose to use crisis as an evolutionary driver, it becomes a doorway to opportunity, an invitation to something greater. This radical shift to love begins with our own personal perceptions, our relationship with intimacy, self-compassion and compassion for others, feeling seen and truly seeing others, connecting through a shared vision of the immense beauty, love, and hope in the world, and valuing a collective purpose.
What if our purpose is to open our eyes and hearts to witness the beauty of the world, feel and connect with the beauty surrounding us, the beauty in each of our yearning hearts and souls, and learn to simply love and be loved?
Are you drawn to create a more beautiful world?
Are you willing to play a leading role in the most incredible, heart expanding, globally healing, ecstatic love story you could ever imagine?
join the movement
Dr. Aspen has always found great joy in exploring athletics, from team sports to mountain sports and many endeavours in-between, she has found the challenge, vigor and exhilaration immensely fulfilling. As she began to explore the world of yoga, she fell in love with the integration of movement, breathe, rhythm and flow. For her, yoga is all about being present, aware and open to learning what her body-mind has to teach her.
She believes her greatest gift as a yoga teacher, has been to hold space for others to cultivate more presence, harmony and deep gratitude on and off the mat. Her passion to support others in creating new levels of health and vitality combine the best of yoga, breathwork, intuitive primal movement, strength training, and pelvic floor resiliency training.
Movement and breath create opportunities for us to foster a deeper connection with our primal nature and access more of our innate vitality.
regenerative yoga
Regenerative Exercise Activity is a term coined by us at V-Metrics: The Health Creation Lab. Regenerative Yoga combines the principles of Regenerative Exercise into a fluid vinyasa style sequence aimed to stimulate adaptive catabolic and anabolic responses that enhance our energy, cardio-respiratory, metabolic efficiency and our ability to regenerate and strengthen our skeletal muscles, cells, tissues, and organ systems. This style of movement has been developed to promote vitality, prevent sarcopenia and minimize the inroads of aging. This experience includes holding strong poses for 1-2mins, core exercises and 30s higher intensity intervals. A practice sure to leave you feeling vital!
Restorative yoga
Restorative Exercise Activity is a term coined by us at V-Metrics: The Health Creation Lab. Restorative yoga combines the principles of Restorative Exercise into a sequence of yoga postures similar to Yin Yoga. Restorative Exercise is any physical activity we do because it feels good during and immediately following it, AND it has health benefits with no downside or collateral damage. This experience includes forms of breath work to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, gentle movement, holding restorative yoga postures for 3-5 mins, and a guided or silent mediation. This form of movement is intended to break up physical and mental-emotional stress patterns in the body-mind. A practice certain to optimize your restoration and relaxation!
primal yoga
Primal yoga is meditation in motion. This style of yoga offers the opportunity to elevate vitality and energy, ground deeply, build strength and stability, and awaken your primal nature. In this class we tap into the present moment, use breath to lead movement, engage free flowing, fluid movement, practice listening to our body-mind, and moving intuitively. This allows us to tune out of the thinking brain, and tap into the feeling brain. This experience includes strong, strengthening postures, creative vinyasa style sequencing, building core stability, and fluid movements, with less focus on form, more focus on breathing and feeling. We can access powerful emotion through motion, join the movement!
pelvic bowl yoga
Just like all the other skeletal muscles in the body, the pelvic bowl requires training to become strong and resilient. A healthy pelvic bowl is able to adapt and respond to any situation in real time, it is strong when we need strength and stability, and it’s able to relax and soften when needed. Pelvic Bowl Yoga combines intentional breath, focused pelvic floor muscle contraction and relaxation, core stability training, all in a variety of yoga postures that mimic real-life scenarios. This style of yoga is excellent for preparing for pregnancy, while pregnant and postpartum recovery, and ANY stage of a woman’s life. Although men also have a pelvic bowl that requires the same resilient nature, this style of yoga is designed specifically for a female anatomy (See Men’s Health for specific pelvic recommendations). A resilient, vital, embodied pelvis will improve your strength, stability, confidence in movement, increase sexual satisfaction, and decrease urinary leakage, risk of prolapse, pelvic pain, and more!
