Class Overview
Rope can be beautiful, connective, and playful, but it can also be strict, punishing, and transformative. In this session, we’ll explore the different sides of rope bondage, from decorative ties to the deeper dynamics of “punishment vs. funishment.” We’ll also look at how to reverse engineer ties you see, giving you the tools to experiment and adapt techniques on your own.
This class is suitable for all levels and doesn’t require a partner. No rope needed to participate, and learning materials will be provided.
