Teaching in Portland on 1/23/10

The next class I am teaching is in Portland at the Conservatory and is half of the class I taught for Max on Dec. 6th. I am going to cover basic human anatomy as it relates to bondage activities and then we will look at some photos by the fabulous Jim Duvall. Yummy eye candy that is also highly educational!

Bondage Body Mechanics - Lecture & Slideshow presented by Sophia Sky with Jim Duvall

Saturday, January 23rd
$20 per person
3:00pm to 5:00pm
No RSVP necessary
NO LATE ARRIVALS

Class description -
Whether you use rope, chains or leather in your bondage, having a working knowledge of anatomy will help you increase your fun while keeping your bottom safe. With a photo slideshow for reference, we will discuss how the body responds to bondage, as well as how to work with the physical limitations that basic anatomy imposes on us. Learn how to lengthen your scenes by making challenging bondage positions attainable or more comfortable. Increase the intensity by making the comfortable more challenging with minimal effort and risk. This class is for tops and bottoms and appropriate to all skill levels and styles of bondage.

Also, I will be helping Jim Duvall present his class immediately preceding mine. I will be chiming in about the physiological processes of pain and sensation, as well as providing a bottoming perspective on one or two ways to process pain. Big day! Lots of fun!

Class description - Pain. Pain is usually our bodies way of telling us something is wrong. I stimulates to instinctual reactions to avoid, flee, recoil and get away. A lot of S/m play begins with a mastery of pain and how to manage it and let it become some juicy, delicious, endorphin producing elixir. This workshop will be an effort to find the right types of pain for your scene and how to produce that with rope. We will talk about pain to avoid and pain to languish and wallow in. Ties that can cause endurance or gradual pain and those that will strike immediately. Everyone should look forward to exploring their sadism and masochism in this class. Tops will be given some new tools to inflict pain and how to help or hinder the processing of pain. Bottoms will be given some new ways to process pain and how to describe and negotiate for the pain they like.
