Meet your Sensual Educator, Ari

Hi, I’m Ari! (pronounced R~E). I’m a Certified Yoga Instructor, International & Award-Winning Burlesque Performer, and Sensual Educator + Facilitator.

“What is a Sensual Educator?”, you might ask. It’s a much more cool way of saying that I’m a Professional Sex Educator & Intimacy Coach. I don’t like the branding of “coaching” per se— mainly because it feels inauthentic to my style. I’m not ‘coaching’, so much as educating (+ re-educating), resource-sharing, and affirming others so that they can make confident and competent decisions regarding their sex life and relationships.

My focus is on the intersection of sexuality, education, and holistic/mindfulness practices; yoga, meditation, guided journaling, self-somatic work and much more. I give practical advice (with a HEAVY dose of realness and a dash of humor) on how to give yourself the sex life you deserve! I prioritize sensual desire and fulfillment in my work because I believe that that we are innately sexual & sensual beings - no matter how much sex we’re having. And I honor any means that justify your individual ends, loves.

I personally use yoga, burlesque/striptease, dance, sensual self-touch, and many other “woo” modalities to nourish my sensual energy so that it may flow like wild honey; sweetly, slowly, freely... and unforced.

The truth is, I want every woman & femme to feel how I feel. But I didn't get to this place without trials, heartache, and healing trauma. I do the work of Sensual Education + Facilitation so that others don't have to climb out from sensual dissonance on their own. Let me help you get there.

As I inch closer toward accreditation as a Certified Sex Educator and honing a skillset to serve folks best, I think it’s important to prop up my work as is; I promote what I call "Sensual Resilience"- the alchemy of holistic sensuality, self-pleasure before shared pleasure, and un-stifling access to pleasure by working with your shadows instead of against them.When we bring our darkness to light, we clear a path to honor our deepest desires— trust me.

All of this comes to you from the perspective of a sexual assault and trauma survivor, a late bloomer, a great lover, an excellent confidante, and a weepy + intuitive Cancer (sun sign) full of creative energy who gets off (intellectually) by watching people uncover their sensuous joy. It recharges my superpowers- seriously! I can’t wait to channel my work into a space that serves others ~exactly where they are~.

Thank you for following me on this journey. 💓

If you like what I’m building, feel free to reach out and share what you’re learning about your own sexual & sensual journey.

Other means of engagement are coming down the pipeline. For now, email me and give me & my work a follow on all the things at @sensuelleyoga!

In love & pleasure,

~Ari
