Learning to Fly with Tangled Wings

Empowering Curious Minds & Open Hearts

A Sustainable Practice: Mind, Body, and Sexuality

A natural alignment

As it stands, there is palpable tension between the state of our physical environment & the expected longevity of resources given the rate at which we are currently consuming. The erosion of our planet has been rapidly accelerated by our human presence. The evidence is shown in our warming global temperature, our rising, plastic-filled oceans, our shrinking forests, & our trash-laden beaches. As a human populous, we need to unite on actionable items & holistically commit to a more sustainable lifestyle. We need to heal our earth & secure a safe, abundant for future generations.

We take a yogic approach to environmental conservation as we aim to educate & raise awareness about the importance & urgency of environmental recovery. We strive to add value to those already working towards harmonic homeostasis & mobilize support for future restoration & conservation efforts.

In our exploration and practice of ecosexuality, we prioritize the care and sustained nourishment of our mental and physical bodies for the well-being of our body, mind, soul, & spirit.

We take a harm-reduction lens and believe in reclaiming our sexual curiosity, exploration, & voice through open, honest communication & ownership of our desires. We’re here doing the work to commit to safety and creating safe spaces. We hope to inspire sex-positive conversations by shedding the sticky emotions of embarrassment, guilt, or shame that we may have previously acquired & that continue to taint our perspective. and our mental wellbeing as a complete person. That being said, we are not doctors or mental health professionals. We are on our journey, just as you are on yours. As part of nature, we hope to normalize sexuality. Sex & pleasure is good for us – mentally, physically, emotionally, & spiritually.

Blessings to my journey, and to yours.

Patanjali was a grandfather of yoga & thought to have lived somewhere between 200-500 B.C. He gave us Ashtanga Yoga, an eightfold path designed to train the mind, breath, & body to attain self-realization through spiritual enlightenment. In his work, he details the eight limbs of yoga.

The Yamas & Niyamas are the spiritual groundwork upon which all other limbs are filtered through. Asana, Pranayama, & Pratyahara primarily deal with the inward flow of source energy, our interpretations & digestions of reality, & how these perceptions affect our internal landscape. Through these practices, we develop an internal awareness & connection to our physical & energetic bodies & hopefully better understand how we allow our ego mind, associated attachments, & the energy surrounding us to influence us.

In Dharana, Dhyana, & Samadhi, we reverse the flow of energy & practice using our discernment through our intelligent mind & willpower to align our authentic expression in a way that allows us to speak, think, & act from a place of kindness, compassion, & most importantly, truth, without attachment or possession.

If used responsibly, our senses allow us to connect with what is true & authentic to our internal realities instead of attempting to match the many possible attachments & constructs as offered in our external realities. Through the work & sustained practice of yoga, we begin to see ourselves as a vessel capable of transforming the energies & inside of ourselves & with that, capable of influencing the energies surrounding ourselves, permitting us an increased understanding of the fluidity & interplay of our sensual & source energy. We have also aligned our ropes practice with the varying anatomical practices as they correspond to each element.

The Environmental Side of Yoga:
A Sustainable Practice

At the nexus of science & nature, we observe & examine the body through an anatomical lens with directionally-based asana paced & practiced along with the rhythmical cycle & beat of the breath. As we progress in our yoga practice, we layer in our rope bondage practice.

Rope Roles

Receiving an Experience

As rope “bottoms”, we are rooted in our physical bodies, as we spread our wings & fly in our mental bodies.

As rope “tops”, we are rooted in meditative mental presence, as we dance with flighted fingers in our physical bodies.
