Summary
Today I'm exploring one of the most invisible yet influential forces shaping modern relationships and sexuality: patriarchal conditioning around sex and intimacy. I’m joined by Devashi Shakti, the Founder of Tigress Yoga and a trail blazing, pioneer of female embodiment, somatic healing, and sensual sovereignty. Together we unpack the cultural paradigm that has taught women to disconnect from their instincts, override their sensations, and orient intimacy and pleasure around the male experience. This conversation opens a profound inquiry into what becomes possible when women begin to reclaim their nervous system sovereignty, sensual intelligence, and embodied authority. We explore: Why most women have never experienced the full potential of intimacy The impact of patriarchy on women’s nervous systems and sexuality The orgasm gap and the deeper cultural roots behind it How women reclaim sensual vitality, instinct, and personal authority What intimacy could look like beyond patriarchal conditioning Devashi also shares the origin story behind Tigress Yoga, a groundbreaking embodiment practice devoted to restoring women’s instinctual power, sensual vitality, and emotional autonomy. For decades, her work has guided women back into direct relationship with the wisdom of their bodies, long before somatic healing and nervous system regulation became mainstream conversations. This episode is an invitation to question what we’ve inherited about sexuality, and to imagine a new paradigm of intimacy rooted in mutual thriving, flourishing, and pleasure... beyond the patriarchy. ===GUEST LINKS: Website: https://www.thetigresspath.com/ Podcast: Beyond Patriarchal Sex Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetigresspath/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/devashi.tigress/ === VILATES •W…
