In this tie-along class we will show and discuss ties that will push your bottoms to their limit. It is a common misconception that floor work is less painful than suspension, and in this class we hope to prove that point. We will discuss general safety and fun ways to cause discomfort based around body mechanics and stress.

Tired of rope scenes that start with a long, awkward lull? This hands on suspension class is all about transforming the beginning of your scenes into engaging, connected experiences right from the first wrap. We'll explore how to use the harnesses and uplines you already know in more dynamic, intimate ways to bring energy, intention, and presence into the moment. Learn how to engage your bottom physically and emotionally, building anticipation as you tie. Ideal for riggers looking to add depth and creativity to their scenes without needing anything new, just a fresh perspective.

Bottoming for suspension and partials can be an exciting, but intimidating, venture. The community regularly speaks of vetting tops, but unless you top as well, most bottoms are unaware of what to look for in the technical skills of a rigger. How do we spot good rope without learning how to tie? This class is geared towards bottoms who have little to no experience tying themselves, focusing on how to evaluate the skills of a top, understand rope structures, learn best practices, and assess the hardware used in scenes. This lecture based class is not focused on learning to tie, although there may be some hands on portions for bottoms who would like to participate.

Join us for an in-depth exploration of advanced box tie techniques. Box ties- also known as takate kote or gote shibari- are one of the most versatile harnesses, but are one of the most challenging to fully understand. This class is designed for those who already have ample
experience tying TK’s regularly, and we will focus on refining every inch of its structure to expand your understanding of its capabilities. We will discuss how different body types and mobilities affect placement choices, and how adapting tension and structure can optimize the harness for a specific suspension position. This will be a tie-along class involving your questions being answered on the spot, as well as a demonstration of techniques with time to practice them.
