Dungeon Dharma: Yoga in the Dungeon

YOGA IN THE DUNGEON Sunday, November 17, 2pm-3:30pm   What to expect The yoga room, like the dungeon, is a place where consent is primary. Your physical and psychological safety is the most important thing. You get to choose how to move, when to take a break, and whether you receive hands-on physical adjustments.   In this 75 minute class, expect to flow between longer-held postures to explore remaining present and aware when sensations come up. This is a class for anyone: modifications will be offered to back off and to feel more intense physical sensations. Your challenge is to stay with your breath and to remain aware of your body.   Instructor Bio Alissa has been educated in neuroscience, social work, and public health, and has been teaching yoga since 2014. She has a focus on trauma-informed practice that centers marginalized people’s experiences and helps to smash the mental and interpersonal systems that keep us from finding personal and collective liberation. She also does a series called Black Metal Yogi.   Please bring a yoga mat, water, and an extra tshirt or a strap to use as a prop. But we have straps and rope from the dungeon toy closet to use too ;)   About Dungeon West: Owned and operated by Los Angeles dominatrix, Mistress Justine Cross, Dungeon West is a modern, spacious, upscale dungeon.
