About the event
Ideal for anyone seeking ways to share yoga or stretching with a lover or friend, or for rough body play enthusiasts looking for new things to do to their partners, this class will introduce the basics of partnered acro-therapeutics and thai massage.
- Acro-therapeutics: Partnered exercises in which one partner manipulates the other’s body through stretches and massage, usually while lifting them or moving in “acrobatic”ways.
- Thai massage: Mixing acupressure, bodyweight-based compressions, and assisted stretches, Thai massage grounds receiver and giver alike. It is an excellent skill to learn to relieve pain, allow deep relaxation, and connect energetically. While our in-class practice will involve mostly vanilla massage techniques, we will offer suggestions for how they can be applied in a kinky context.
7:00 PM - check in SHARP. 7:30-9:30 PM Class 9:30-10:30 PM Open Practice (time permitting)
Class participants will be led through a set of simple and accessible acro-therapeutic skills which will challenge you and your partner to work together while exploring embodied connections and surrender.
Afterwards, each partner will be led through giving and receiving a Thai massage.
This class is designed to be accessible to anyone regardless of skill or fitness level. This class will be BYOP (bring your own partner) if you would like to attend and do not have someone handy, please contact us and we will try to match you with someone.)
Open practice time permitting after the class.
