  • building a supportive and explorative experience with yourself and/or your partner(s)
  • ways to reduce pressure on yourself and/or your partner(s)
  • mental conditioning and reframing techniques to help you reclaim your pleasure
  • throughout the class Knotasha will demonstrate her tried and true tips for both the giver and receiver of pleasure
