We aren’t talking about kinks as in twists or curls, we are talking about latex and whips and yoga mats.
While it may sound odd at first, BDSM and yoga really aren’t that different in terms of mindfulness, an altered state of consciousness , and similar flow states. Brad Sagarin, Ph.D., a researcher and author from Northern Illinois University found that, “Flow is an enjoyable and pleasurable state that people get into when they are performing an activity that requires a high level of skill.” He continues, “It’s a state in which the rest of the world kind of fades away and somebody is concentrating very intensely only on what they are doing.”
We’ve looked at subspace and topspace before but as a refresher, it’s when the euphoric sensations that a top and bottom feel during kinky sex. Tester one levels, cortisol levels, mood, and feelings of “flow” are all influenced during BDSM encounters. BDSM is also known to be a state of therapeutic recovery for many trauma and abuse survivors. HelloFlo writer, Sebastian Zulch writes that, “While some people go to the gym, have a run, or write out their angry feelings, I get choked and flogged in my bed.” Mindfulness plays a key role here , as it’s applied even more so during BDSM scenes because of deeper levels of trust which then influence closeness during these particular interactions.
A “flow-state” is a nine-dimensional altered state. It it said to make the “ego fall away.” Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi , poetically explained to Wire Magazine that, “Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you’re using your skills to the utmost.” In short, it’s an exercise of the mind and body.
When centering yourself on a yoga mat , intentions are typically set for practitioners. Whether it’s your own, or a general intention influenced by the instructor, it helps guide the student into a state of mindfulness.
Kink yoga should not be confused with tantric yoga , which aims to improve your sex life through similar ways to centering on your own body and energy. Tantric yoga focuses on energies in the body, while kink yoga does focus on similar characteristics, it can include props and outfits.
Madeline White was first introduced to kink yoga at Kreuzbergyoga in Germany . The trend of kink yoga is fresh and very new—as recent as three months ago people began to discuss and comment on the new practice. White explains that kink yoga’s main goal is to “prepare you for Shibari Japanese bondage ropes . Kink Yoga focuses on relaxation and offers pranayama techniques to better control your anxiety in high stress situations.”
“Shibari” translates in Japanese “to tie” and its origins rest in the martial arts training of restraining people, or captives, from 1400 to 1700. In the late 1800s and 1900s, Kinbaku, the art of erotic bondage, came into light which is still practiced today as erotic spirituality and is called, Shibari. The Independent talked to two Shibari enthusiasts who explained that, “Some people say it has a meditative effect. It silences the chatter of the everyday.”
White mentioned that kink yoga incorporates pranayama techniques which is a Sanskrit word for “life force” and ayama which mean, “extending” or “stretching.” Together, the term translates to the extension of breath, or controlling your breath. Breathing properly and controlling your oxygen decreases stress and increases overall mood and physical health.
Kink yoga blends peoples normal kinks with yoga practices. In these classes, participants can come dressed up, dressed down, include accessories, or be in the nude while practicing typical poses.
Classes involving kink yoga are said to release stress, tension, and increase focus. Downward dog and ball gags probably don’t appear in your everyday vocabulary all too often but dominatrixes and instructors around the globe are gaining steam with the new mindful practice.
Mistress Anna from Sydney, Australia teaches a yoga class that includes spanking, whipping, straight jackets, and leather. For most practitioners in the class, it’s a way to blend two of their passions: yoga and kink. She explains that, “People are being flogged, whipped, and tied up. They hold a post while their kink stuff is played out.” Most classes are a small group of ten people. Individuals can come into the classroom and explain their kinks and have those played out. Mistress Anna says, “Any kink gets played out during the yoga class.” From sploshing to puppy play, no kink is ignored with proper consent.
While you may be imagining a dungeon-eseque atmosphere, it’s really quite similar to a typical yoga class. Yoga mats and meditation begin the class where Anna begins with a prayer pose. Just as yoga instructors walk around the room, Mistress Anna is adorned in a latex bodysuit and carries a riding crop.
People participating in kink yoga not only have a way to release tension and live out their kinks, they are able to gain flexibility and core strength, while also incorporating bondage.
The crossover between trained yoga instructors and practicing dominatrixes results in a new form of meditation.
On her website, Mistress Anna explains that “Kinky Yoga is Yoga without judgement. It’s Yoga that concentrates on the process of creating, moving and releasing energy. Essentially, it’s Yoga that hurts good.”

So it looks like I'll have to move to Australia.
Because THAT, my friends, is where to go if you want to fuse your twin loves of yoga and being kinky as all get out.
Ladies and gentlemen, please meet Mistress Anna, a professional dominatrix and yoga teacher whose Kink Yoga class has gained a cult following.
That's right, forget down dog , at Mistress Anna's kink yoga class you're far more likely to get a "get down and stay down, you dog."
All that and a little bit of delicious spanking, too.
Listening to Mistress Anna and her clients talk about the kink yoga experience proves (to those disbelievers) that the release of yoga and the release of a sexual fetish have a lot in common.
Some clients come to kink yoga for health reasons, like one man undergoing treatment for skin cancer .
"The yoga itself is a release, and swapping out the bad pain of chemo for the good pain here is wonderful," he says.
Something people might not know about those of us who lead kinky lives is just how important fitness is in order to sustain our kinks.
That's right, you've got to be in tip-top shape if you want to enjoy your fav fetish to fullest!
I'm not being superficial (hello, out, proud, and loud fat woman here), I'm being realistic.
If your kink involves being tied up or being submissive , it's important that you have serious core strength.
This isn't so you can be "the best" at your kink.
It's so that you can enjoy it to the fullest!
I love the idea of a gym that is embracing of the BDSM and kink community.
It's really hard to meet up with new kinky friends outside of sex parties or the internet.
For many kinky people, the idea of bringing your kink into the light of day is one of the most sexy ideas that there is.
It's also one of the most frightening.
What if you're rejected? What if you're mocked?
Taking your fetish out for a test drive at a place like Kink Yoga sounds like a dream come true.
The idea that I could make my kink a part of my daily life by making even my exercise experience kinky is awesome to the max.
That said, I think it will probably be years before I can sustain a plank position WHILE being flogged.

For many, yoga is a deeply spiritual practice based in ideas of devotion and surrender. Since having completed a yoga teacher training, I have been exploring the overlap of yoga, Tantra and SM on a personal level. I am now offering devotional yoga sessions and kinky yoga to explore ideas of surrender and sexuality through the cultivation of a kinesthetic and devotional yoga practice. Yoga can be so many things. The singular focus of breath and devotion lend itself to kink and BDSM practices.
