Have you ever had a tune hit your ear just right... making you scrunch up your face in appreciation "---Ooooomphh!" ? Have you ever closed your eyes and felt the music to - quite literally - transport your body and soul to another time and place?

Music carries with it a lot of power - for example, the power to synchronize people to their environments and each other. The way music hits our limbic system is so unique and should be understood. On the one hand, a beloved melody can help us regulate our emotions and access a good mood any time, any where... In the same vein, a stray, haunting song can stir up buried memories and reduce us to tears in the supermarket.

This class is more than just putting on a song you like and having a good time. Here, we'll learn the art of surrendering to the flow of a song and savoring it in our bodies - taking it apart bit by bit. By the end of the song, your body will be saturated with sensation as the beat washes over you.

This is a great class for singles or couples - no matter your experience level with music or k!nk or intimacy. Whether you deepen your enjoyment of music for yourself or in connection to someone else... you are sure to leave with a new perspective on accessing pleasure through sound.
