Cost: None, but donations encouraged

Info/registration: https://seattleleather.org/events-lite/intro-to-breath-control/

Description:

Ever wonder exactly what breath control is, including how to perform it as safely as possible? The instructor, John, will show you just how diverse, exciting, and edgy this unique form of BDSM can be. He will demonstrate many techniques live, so this is the chance for you — be you top or bottom — to witness breath control performed by a seasoned hand in person. There’s likely more variety than you think, and now you can learn how to add this uncommon form of control and sadism to your favorite scenes.

For those attending with a partner and if time allows, the instructor will provide hands-on instruction toward the end of the class.

This is an in-person class located on Capitol Hill, Seattle. You must be 18+. This class is fully inclusive and open for individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and skill levels. This is a beginner-level class: No prior knowledge/experience is required.

Cost: Free, but donations accepted/encouraged

Info/registration: https://seattleleather.org/events-lite/body-service-massage-evil/

Description:

Massage can be relaxing, soothing, and healing, but as anyone who has received a deep tissue massage can affirm, it can also be intense, surprising, and painful – all great traits for BDSM scenes!

Body Service: Massage Evil is the second class in the two-part Body Service series taught by Beca (she/her). In part one, Beca covered basic anatomy and techniques to rub the body in a sensuous, connecting, relaxing, rewarding way.

In part 2, you will learn the important differences between techniques for relaxation and versus more sadistic play. Starting with basic safety, Beca will then demonstrate 5 easy-to-locate therapeutic pressure and muscle release points and how to manipulate them. There will then be time for (optional) guided, negotiated hands-on practice with a partner.

Attendees are encouraged to wear clothing that is easy to move in and not too bulky. If you have a portable massage table, you are welcome to bring it, but note that the venue is up one flight of stairs.

Content warning: While the focus of the class is not nudity, there may be partial nudity.
