Flexibility for Kink and Erotic Movement

with Alexandria of Click Your Heels

East Bay Community Space, 507 55th St, Oakland, CA 94609

1/4 10am - 3pm Pacific

Advanced ticketing is strongly recommended! Get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

One day, two workshops!

Those interested in learning both the conditioning it takes to prevent injury and learn enticing movement should plan to stay for the full day.

We will not have time allotted for much stretching and warmup during Erotic Movement as a standalone class; we strongly recommend attending for the full day. If you plan to attend only Erotic Movement, please plan to arrive early and take time before class to get fully warmed up and stretched before we begin.

Flexibility for Kink

Like a gorgeous leather jacket can age beautifully or badly depending on how it's cared for, stretching our bodies is fundamental to staying healthy.

But rarely do we make time to stretch, and too often we don’t know enough about how to do it. Just like the leather clothes, boots, or toys we love, we want our bodies to be available for fun and thrilling adventures on demand. Both our bodies and our leather thrive best and live longest with regular care and attention, not just at Folsom but all year round.

With roots in yoga, Pilates, Feldenkrais, ballet, calisthenics, and more, this class is my own creation. A relaxing, gentle, and holistic experience, in this class you will discover new stretches and learn new ways to care for your body. Get guidance and support from an expert (me!), expand your physical reach, and have fun too!

Erotic Movement

In a world that says pleasure is pointless and our bodies are for producing results, profit, or carrying our brains around, come spend a day in the radical act of loving your body exactly the way you are, right now.

What if you could move your body to music in new ways, that expanded both your physical self-expression and your relationship to your erotic self?

🎶We focus on floorwork, walking, standing, crawling, mind-body connection, organic movement, improvisation, authenticity, building confidence, and intentionality. Bring your questions, goals, concerns, curiosity, and desires!

This workshop is open to all levels.

If you have taken the shorter version in the past you are especially encouraged to attend. A section of time will be set aside to address your custom wants and needs.

Connect your sensual heart to your body by moving in new ways to inspiring music. We practice allowing ourselves to find our inner sensual being, gaining confidence and movement vocabulary. Flexibility, strength, and musicality are all taught in an indirect way, while we focus on your body's desires for movement and expression. Awaken new sides of your sensual self through movement and musicality in this slow and welcoming format. Suitable for all levels and abilities.

This is a body positive, safe, welcoming environment.
