WORKSHOP 6PM to 7:45PM
MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINTS FOR PAIN AND PLEASURE
Please join Galleria Domain 2 as they host Voron for an exciting presentation on creating pain through the intimate use of your hands on your partner's body. This hands on workshop will show participants how to use myofascial trigger points to cause temporary pain which is not only exquisite but can also result in longer term pain reduction.
Myofascial trigger points are not acupuncture points although there is some over lap in their locations on the human body. Trigger points are also not locations where nerve plexus are exposed, instead they are a different physiological phenomena which is well accepted and researched in the medical community today.
The workshop will cover basic background knowledge which include physiology of myofascial trigger points and current resources for seeking more information. We will also discuss the various guides to working with trigger points.
Then we get into the kinky stuff - how to blend manual techniques of trigger points into your kinky play.
Some of the techniques covered will be: trigger point pressure release, direct compression, active engagement and deep stroking. Don't be nervous to participate! These techniques are all pretty simple and most people can effectively learn the basics in just a few minutes.
ABOUT VORON
Voron has over 20 years of martial arts experience, including coaching a competitive mixed martial arts club and fighting in 8 ring fights. Voron enjoys using his martial arts experience by teaching and engaging in various forms of rough body and primal play. He has decades of experience as a personal fitness trainer and has developed a functional fitness for fucking program which combines the fun of forced exercise with the benefits of improved endurance and sexual performance.
Voron has taught massage therapy and currently works as a professional massage therapist. Voron has taught continuing education for massage therapists on myofascial trigger points and enjoys teaching people how to use these techniques for "other" purposes. Using a combination of anatomy, physiology, and practical experience with chokes from martial arts competition, Voron also practices breath play based on a wide variety of jujitsu and submission wrestling techniques.

This is an all inclusive class for people who want to share their kinks and fantasies with their partners in or out of a dungeon. There will be a lecture and then class practice! It will be fun. Bring a prop to explore and come play with me! I'll be the Teacher....
