You’ve been doing rope suspensions for a while and now it’s time to go from more static into transitions? Perfect! There’s no better person to teach you all the tipps and tricks than Addie! Prepare yourselves for four masterful sessions that will blow your mind (and not your joints!) and add several options for progressions and lots and lots of nerdy useful tricks to your repertoire.
We highly recommend you take these classes as one 4-class series. However, you can also choose to take classes 1-3 individually. The 4th class is advance and relies on the knowledge and material of the other three, so this one is only available in the package deal.
Class 2: Running Person Transitions (February 11th, 2025, 6-8.30pm CET)
Running person and transitions, including to face down or face up, torsions, and rotation to side. Special attention to balancing a tie for upright suspension, and the body mechanics of keeping that shape.

Date & Time: February 11th, 2005, 6 pm-8.30 pm CET (Berlin time)

and adventure.
What to Bring: ropes and a partner, if you want to tie along

Who is this event for?
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.
Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
