Even if you have body dysmorphia (and/or gender identity disorder), it is possible to attune to your inner energetic channels and enjoy sex more. Even if you have a great relationship with your body, you will still take away from this workshop. We will utilize different movement modalities, including yoga and dance, to explore our bodies in new ways that help increase neuroplasticity and improve interpersonal neurobiology. But no experience is required. Please come as you are – able bodied or disabled by our ableist society; cis, trans and/or some other gender; heterosexual, queer and/or other sexualities are all welcome here. Sex worker(?), you too deserve a chance to love and accept your body and are more than welcome. The instructor has experience with all of these marginalized bodies.

About the Educator:

As someone who has been historically excluded from dance and most yoga studios as a gender nonconforming queer trans person, smitty has worked to overcome many barriers in order to access movement spaces. They are now a (certified 200 hour) Yoga Instructor through Poseurs’ School of Magic. They have studied modern, lyrical, hip hop and Gaga with Danielle Agami, Isaiah Tilman, Dani Tirell and more. Their work has been performed at the Sex Workers Art Symposium, On the Board’s Open Studio, the Winngstad (pdx), Mt.Tabor Theatre (pdx) the Broadway Performance Hall, Theatre Off Jackson, Tacoma Art Museum, etc and at many a burlesque show. In 2004, they started the only QT artist nonprofit focused on intersectional identities, the Conspiracy of Geniuses (CoG). Most recently they graduated from the TAT Lab, a training lab based that teaches artists to incorporate social justice into their curriculum. More information about smitty at smittybuckler.com.
