Urban Retreat - Yoga and Pilates for BDSM and Kink

Yoga, Pilates, and BDSM have a lot in common – they all take discipline, there can be discomfort, but ultimately we get a deeper knowledge of our potential and limitations by engaging.

We invite you to join us for a day of relaxation, reconnection, and revelation as we venture into a day of Yoga and Pilates designed specifically for kinksters.

Our presenter – Mistress Mynx - is a fully qualified Yoga and Pilates teacher and professional Personal Trainer with deep links to the kink community as both a lifestyle player and professional Dominatrix. She has developed this program for kinksters of any level, at any stage of their journey into Yoga and Pilates with the intention of connecting you to your body, increasing your strength and endurance, and showing you the links between your physical fitness and kink lifestyle.  

The day will run in two parts with a Yoga-focused Morning session from 10am – 1pm and an afternoon session from 2pm – 5pm with a focus on Pilates and strengthening the core. You can come along to either session or join us for the full day.

Morning Session: 10am – 1pm

Beginning with a tea ceremony, Mynx will gently coax you to the required mindset, introducing light breath work and mobilisation exercises, before explaining the core concepts for the session and discussing some of the many links between Yoga and BDSM, including certain poses to improve your BDSM play.

You will have the opportunity to:

• work through some prehab mobility movements with a focus on the wrists/hands and shoulders, and the hips, knees and feet
• participate in seated Hatha yoga
• learn poses most effective for kink play with a standing Vinyassa
• practice mindfulness and staying present with a guided Shavanasa meditative visualisation
  

Break: 1pm – 2pm

Enjoy some snacks and take some time to connect with Mistress Mynx and your fellow participants. Let’s discuss and debrief from the morning while fueling our body for the afternoon ahead.

Afternoon Session: 2pm – 5pm

The day will resume with more of a focus on the core strength and stability that can be built with Pilates practice.

The session will flow in a similar way to the morning session, and the Yoga practice will continue. The afternoon will also include:

• Pilates for your core – learn how a dynamic awareness of the deep abdominals can play a role in improving your BDSM practice
• experience Yin yoga – a session to enable you to work with your breath and resolve in order to hold a pose

The day will conclude with a debrief discussion and close with a tea ceremony, so you return to real life truly refreshed and reinvigorated.
