now available for presale!
“Reconnect to your true sense of joy and pleasure in life through embodiment practices, which will put you in touch with the natural wisdom of your body and enhance your ability to connect with others.
In this time of increased fatigue, loneliness, and anxiety, disconnection from our bodies and from each other is at the core of our personal pain and our collective suffering. Women in particular are rewarded for and expected to participate in self-denial. The Pleasure Is All Yours is a step-by-step guide to help readers release these barriers to finding joy and connection in life.
In this timely guide, holistic clinical psychologist, sex therapist, and yoga teacher Dr. Rachel Allyn introduces a embodiment method she developed and has taught to thousands of clients to help them awaken their body's own capacity for healing and connection. Allyn describes four kinds of pleasure--sensual, playful, lively, and sexual--which overlap in many ways. She helps readers identify what things brings pleasure in each and combines breathing exercises, mindfulness, yoga, auditory release, and dynamic movements to help people reconnect to their bodies and become reunited with their inherent wisdom.”
“The Pleasure Is All Yours is a powerful and timely invitation to unapologetically reclaim our joy by seeking the source of our happiness from deep within! Dr. Rachel Allyn deftly unpacks the complexities of pleasure, including how trauma and cultural conditioning often deny us this natural part of our self-expression to the detriment of our health and wellness. She provides practical, theoretical, and spiritual insights (as well as embodied practices) that challenge our perspective, ignites our imagination, and illuminates the sweet, sensual, and always deserving journey toward self-love. I highly recommend this beautiful and informative book for all seekers of joy.”

Incorporating both humor and the latest science, Dr. Allyn expands on mindfulness with bodyfulness: a crucial practice for our disembodied times. The Pleasure Is All Yours offers insightful and groundbreaking ways to transform and flourish from the body up. It inspires the reader on a path to thrive and reclaim healthy human pleasures so that we can harness our resilience and joy. I am so grateful to have this tool to offer my clients and students.”
