Episode notes

For today’s episode, we talk with Jonn, the founder and owner of Body Curious.

Following an accident, Jonn was left with 15% whole body permanent impairment. However, through a combination of rehabilitation and yoga, he was able to restore his body function. This inspired him to create Body Curious in 2014, a men's only yoga studio committed to improving health outcomes for men. He is a qualified Yoga, Thai Yoga Massage teacher & Practitioner, and a Sexological Bodywork Practitioner.

Early on, Jonn realised that his studio was attracting more men than women. So, with this information, he decided to focus on men.

This opportunity to cater to only men brought about the first of his now many Naked Yoga sessions. His 1st class of Naked Yoga was attended by 20 naked men.

In case you’re wondering, yes, naked – meaning complete, pure natural bodies showing.

Jonn also talked about his sexological work, how it works, why it’s different from the others, and what it can and can’t do.

Interestingly, the discussion also touched upon personal pleasure, why it’s important to understand how to explore yourself and how to teach children about this quite taboo but important topic.

How early should a child use a cellular phone? What happens if they get exposed to porn? When is the best time to discuss sex and pleasure with them? Why is it important to let children know that they should not be ashamed of pleasure? And so many more compelling topics that we know you’ll surely relate to.
