Hi! My name is Radiant Rebecca. I'm a polyamorous woman (aka an ethical slut), a courtesan, and a tango dancer. I love to make people blush. Especially if it makes them think! This podcast is about love. And my love life. And my … um, sex life. In each episode, you will hear me in rich, intimate, brainy conversations with my partners, lovers, and curious friends. We will share with you, often in real-time, how we navigate relationship transitions and jealousy, fighting nicely, practice partnership, communicate consciously about sex, money, and more. Expect big chunks of useful information and science geekery, a lot of inspiration, and a dash of magic on top… and of course, lots of talk about pleasure and its manifestations! I believe that TRUE pleasure improves us, and I aim to follow true pleasure wherever it leads. I'm not always right. But I'm always enjoying myself! Care to join me?

RATED PG-13
In episode 119, Rebecca explores Acro Yoga with Natasha Hawthorn, an advanced practitioner of the art. Acro Yoga is a form of yoga that involves performing poses and movements with a partner, and requires a high level of trust, communication, and personal growth. Bringing her wealth of experience to the discussion, Natasha gives us an insider's view into her personal journey of discovery and growth within this cooperative art form. The conversation highlights the critical role of trust, intuition, and calibration in the practice and Natasha narrates her unique experiences and talks about the communal respect, communication, and safety measures that make the global acro yoga community truly exceptional.
The conversation goes deeper into the themes of communication and setting boundaries in acro yoga, exploring what it takes to create a good acro match. Natasha's observations from her interactions with various bases and flyers provide valuable tips to advanced and new practitioners. Additionally, the episode shines a light on the exciting acro yoga documentary project, Touching the Sky, an initiative aimed at raising awareness about the global talent within the acro yoga community.
