#183 - Yum Yum Panda on Self Rigging This week, Woody & the Beast chat with Yum Yum Panda. Panda has been in the lifestyle since 2013 when she first
found Fetlife and joined her local community in Jacksonville, FL. Since then,
Panda has founded and lead multiple groups in the Jacksonville area, including
a group dedicated to helping new people in the scene discover and navigate BDSM
and the community. Panda has a passion for many different kinks including
humiliation/degradation, impact, DD/lg, CBT and strap-on play, but her biggest
passion is for rope. Panda discovered her passion for rope when she started
self-tying. After falling in love with rope, she asked a fellow female rigger
to start mentoring and help her start her rope journey. After a year and a half
of self-tying, Panda expanded onto tying others and also being tied. She has
had the pleasure of taking many intensives/classes and studying under some incredible
rope tops. Panda has taught many classes in the Jacksonville area. Since coming
to the PNW, Panda has taught at various groups/events/cons in the area. Panda
also coordinates education and events for a Seattle venue, SubSpace, including teaching
rope, hosting/teaching a monthly rope lab and leading the Seattle chapter of
the Start Here group. She also enjoys performing and performed for MBE Orlando
in 2015 and at various group munches/events. With a professional background in
education, she has a passion for knowledge that keeps her always learning and
wanting to help others learn. Link: https://fetlife.com/users/2078282
