Conscious Kink Yoga Class @ The Armory Club

The array of kinky play we can get ourselves into ranges far and wide, but there’s one thing most of us can agree on-- it’s the connection that makes the hottest scenes!

In the ideal play scenario, you’re connected to yourself, connected to your partner(s), and connected to your environment. You’re in “the zone.” It’s what can make the touch of a feather and the touch of a single tail feel like the same stroke and why you can feel your partner’s breath on your ear while reading an email of their orders. It’s why a good scene can feel like so much more than play and why practitioners will speak of it as a solo sexual liberation practice, a healing ritual, or a spiritual experience!

So how do you get there?

A loving and experienced play partner will undoubtedly help. And it’s always hard to turn down a new beautiful piece of gear, but losing yourself in the pleasures of kink really starts by finding yourself in your breath and your body.

Come join me at the Armory Club for Conscious Kink, a sensual midweek yoga journey to connect and elevate your play! Expect breathwork, meditation, and various options for movement as well as a closing discussion to process how to get safely connected to the body and engage with others. This class will be accessible to any level of familiarity with yoga or kink.

Please, bring a yoga mat and be able to sit on it comfortably for an hour. We apologize that the Armory Club event space is not wheelchair accessible.

Mondays, Motivation, and Monsters

Returning to the discussion and exploration of shame as I prep for my upcoming offering to The Armory's Educational Series- Pajamas, Popcorn, and Porn: Slaying the Shame Monster Under Our Bed. It's an interesting thing to wake up on Monday morning and immediately start calling out the monsters that have been lurking around you. It's also a really powerful practice.

I stumbled upon this quote from one Brene Brown's Ted Talks on Listening to Shame: 

Jungian analysts call shame the swampland of the soul. And we're going to walk in. And the purpose is not to walk in and construct a home and live there. It is to put on some galoshes- and walk through and find our way around. 

This isn't a full offering but rather a note that I've been rolling over the intersections of shame and marginality in my head and am so excited to share it in it's full incarnation soon! In that work I certainly have had to "pull up my galoshes" and move around and through the work that I'm digging into. 

So just in case you're struggling with monsters, motivation, or just Mondays, here's a little help from the incomparable Anis Mojgani to Shake the Dust and move through the swamplands...
