This beautiful transition sequence takes the classic Japanese Style side suspension and then transitions into an inversion. This is challenging to both model and rigger.
Are they safe to tie with? How do I know? Should that hurt? Do they know that rope on my arm is pinching me? Is that meant to be that tight? How do I tell them without ruining the moment? Am I talking too much? How do I get more flexible? Should I have stretched before this?
This workshop addresses the concerns and many of the questions rope bottoms face when starting their rope journey. In this workshop, Atheera explains how a rope bottom can be risk aware without being a rigger and share with you what she wishes someone had shared with her before starting her rope journey.

In this class we focus on creating ties that focus on the hips so we can build ties that are sustainable for our rope partner/s, before we get them into trickier positions In this class, we will go through a few different variations and adapt accordingly. While the ties themselves are relatively simple in application, tension and placement is your game. By adding in a few other elements, these ties really add versatility and give you freedom to explore.
Rope bottoms: this class will focus on your hips so when you are partially or fully suspended you feel supported by the rope.
Target audience: this class is appropriate for intermediate and beyond and students should know how to safely attach mainlines for suspension. If you are not ready to complete the suspension element, or just don't want to, these ties can be incredibly functional on the floor as well.
Equipment: at least 8 hanks of rope, 2-4 biners and or a ring.
