You don't always have to fly to have fun. It's just as much fun; if not more so, to hover! Partial suspensions are a great medium to add intensity to your ties while not over complicating things; leaving you the brain space to engage with your partner more.
Using a harness with body bamboo, we will go through a 3 pose partial sequence to make a fantastic scene. Let's explore the truly unique opportunities that tying with bamboo can provide!
Requirements:
This class is recommended as a partnered class, but can be attended as an observer
Shared understanding of each other's boundaries
Shared understanding of basic nerve and safety information for rope bondage
Bring a blunt edged cutting tool
Bring 2 pieces of small diameter bamboo (or a similar material), one longer for arms (approx 4-5ft) and one a bit shorter for legs (approx 3-4ft) if possible. We'll have some to share but likely not enough for everyone.
People tying:
6+ ropes for the body

Have an understanding of painful vs dangerous rope
Have a nerve checking system
Bios:
Kindred is a queer rope switch who’s been practicing bondage since 2016. They enjoy both the technical and connective sides of rope, and attribute much of their growth with rope bondage to their teachers Barkas and Addie and their tying partners.
As a rigger, they combine technical precision, fluidity of movement, and focused observation to tie in a way that centers the emotional experience of the people in their rope. Drawing inspiration from martial arts, psychology and art, they incorporate knowledge from these and related fields into their lessons and practice.
As a teacher, Kindred is non-dogmatic and adaptive. Rather than adhering strictly to any style of tying, they provide students with the skills to pursue any avenues of curiosity. Their training in trauma informed practice and non violent crisis intervention carries through to their teaching and practice, facilitating an environment where people can feel safe to express vulnerabilities and emotions.
