Rope for Larger Bodies – Part II: Stepping into Suspension

12. June 2021, 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm

This class is part 2 of a 2-part-series is designed to build confidence & trust in people who tie someone larger than themselves and for rope bottoms to find comfort, confidence & trust in being tied up by someone smaller than them. The techniques and thought processes will be built up in a progressive way during this 2-class-series, however you can also choose to just visit one of the classes as they work also as stand-alone-teachings.

Model for the series: Elvis (also modeling in the photos)

 

Rope for Larger Bodies – Part II: Stepping into Suspension  (June 12th, 6.30 pm – 9 pm CET)

In this part, Pauline will explain and discuss the thought process of starting to suspend a larger-bodied person, going from safety measures all the way to adaptation work. Then Pauline will demonstrate with a few practical examples of how to apply the ideas that were explained. During the demonstration, Pauline will try to accommodate different technical levels and will add warnings for the most complicated parts.
