Description

So you think you’re ready for this jelly? Join Ron Swanson and MxJosiePosie for an exploration of inclusive tying techniques, from strategies for building patterns and adaptations, to the use of supportive and trauma-informed language in your communication and negotiation. Whether you're a rigger looking to expand your skills with diverse bodies, or a bottom seeking an inclusive and affirming rope experience, this class will equip you with both theory and practical techniques to help create meaningful, empowering, and joyful rope experiences for every body.

In this class you will learn:

•General Safety
•How to talk about different bodies
•How to put rope on different bodies
•Suspension Strategies
•Tips and Tricks we’ve learned along the way.

update

This class has been changed from a lecture and demo to give people an opportunity to tie and try some tips and tricks that are taught.

This will not be taught as a suspension class.

There will be opportunity to tie, either solo or with a partner, and auditing is welcome.
If you plan to tie, please bring a cutting tool and a barrier to sit on.
