Kneel with jaxamous as she discuses the life of a BDSM slave. This week she discuses a great way for a bottom/submissive/slave to stay in shape in order to remain able to best serve their Top/Dominant/Master in the best way possible, Slave Yoga!
As a slave, it’s my job to keep myself healthy and strong. I lost that focus many moons ago and I’ve recently been working to get back on the right track. My fitness journey has lead me in many directions, Yoga being one of them. Yoga plays such a huge part in our day to day movements as vanilla individuals. Throwing the fact that I’m a slave and into bondage into the mix, it comes into play even more. It focuses on lengthening your muscles and stretching your body through developing core strength and breathing/meditation.
The positions listed below are beginner(ish) and will assist in many positions you may be asked to stay in as a bottom. Your core is one of the most important parts of your body. Without it, holding your body upright let alone in a position for your Top will be extremely difficult. This is a comprehensive list of positions I believe will benefit you in some way as a bottom. Pick a 10-15 minute time period, a few positions you would like to try, research how to execute them properly along with proper breathing techniques, and give it a shot. Hold your core, relax your shoulders, and focus on the muscles stretching and breathing deeply and slowly. Doing this kind of daily routine will assist with your stamina, strength, agility, and flexibility.
Please make note: I am not a fitness or Yoga professional/teacher. Please utilize your resources, such as YouTube, to learn the correct techniques or attend a class at a local studio to begin. Please consult a doctor before attempting any new workout plans.
