AORTA films presents Breathwork as Breath Play
with Priestex

An AORTAlive Workshop
Recording link sent out morning-of / Class starts at 3pm EST
**Recording available for 14 days after the class**

Physical and emotional states affect how we breathe, and breathing has the power to affect how we feel. Learning to intentionally shift breathing patterns gives us the power to push the intensity and capacity of BDSM scenes.

Learn to add greater depth and intensity to your scenes through the use of intentional breathing techniques. We will discuss the physiology of breathwork, practice breathing patterns that influence the body’s responses (like increasing and decreasing pain perception, fear, and euphoria), and explore how these can be applied to almost any type of scene or play style. The class is great for tops looking to create more intense experiences for their bottoms, masochists looking to increase their endurance, and anyone interested in using breath to influence power dynamics and physical responses in play. All skill levels welcome!

Wearing comfortable clothing is recommended if you intend to participate in the breathing exercises during class (which is encouraged, but certainly not required).

This class is open to all genders, sexualities, and experience levels. Come and play!

Open to all 18+
