“ I’ve really been able to shed back these layers and step more into my sexuality and with that being naked is definitely a part of it. It’s just been incredibly liberating to be free in my body in that way.”
My name is Onyx. I’m from Mason City, Iowa, and I currently live in San Diego, California.
What was it like growing up in Mason City?
It was very sheltered, I must say. Being in the Midwest, there’s not a lot going on. A lot of cornfields, and not a whole lot to do other than that. I actually moved from the Midwest to the East Coast with my mom simply because we had a family member already there and the beach was very appealing. We really loved to vacation there. From the East Coast I ventured out solo to San Diego because I just felt like my heart belonged in California. And I was right, it’s been great.
What do you do for work?
I do content creation. And with that, I have a focus on food, fitness, even fashion. I do a lot of cooking, a lot of good workouts in the gym, and I just really love to inspire other people to eat, live, and be vibrant.
How did you get into yoga?
My journey with yoga began at the beginning of COVID. I had a lot more time on my hands and I really wanted to deepen my spiritual practices. So meditation and yoga go very much hand in hand. And before I knew it, I was practicing in the morning and the evening and I kind of became addicted to it. It was just really fun and a great way for me to get out of my head and into my body.
Do you have a favorite pose?
Currently, I would say it’s Star Pose, simply because it’s a very empowering post yoga flow. Like say you’re in Warrior One and you flow into Warrior Two, and then all of a sudden you just open up to star pose and look up, it feels so, so good.
What do you do for fun?
I love to be in nature. Anytime I can completely disconnect and just reconnect with myself through mother nature is a good time.
How did you become so comfortable with being nude?
Having grown up in the Midwest, I was very sheltered and it wasn’t exactly welcomed to embrace my sensual nature or sexuality for that matter. And so coming out to California, land of the free, where people are just naked all the time and anything goes, I was really able to be in that environment of self-expression and creativity and felt welcome to express that within myself. Recently as I’ve stepped into my OnlyFans journey the past year, I’ve really been able to shed back these layers and step more into my sexuality and with that being naked is definitely a part of it. It’s just been incredibly liberating to be free in my body in that way.
What’s your favorite food?
Since I am vegan, I would say some of my go-to’s lately are stir fry with seasonal veggies, and in the winter months I favor curry because it’s super nourishing and you can still do different seasonal veggies and add some vegan protein - it’s so delightful. Love curry! I never get sick of Indian.
What are your favorite self care practices?
For me meditation is so huge, simply because we’re going going going all day and I just need an escape sometimes. So I’ll start the morning off with meditation, or even do a midday yoga nidra practice where I can just tune everything out, relax, and reset my mind and body.
Where can we follow you online?
On social I’m @Onyx_Unleashed across the board, so that includes Only Fans, Fansly, and Patreon and on Twitter at @Onyx__Unleashed.
Any final words of advice?
Do something today that honors your mind, your body, your spirit. Because I find when we’re able to tap into all those three centers that’s when we feel the most balanced, the most vibrant and alive. That’s all. Thanks!
