This monthly intermediate open rope training is directed at building on what has been taught in the Beginner Open Rope Training.
Topic of Exploration: Face down suspension
This class is an exploration of face down suspension positions like the gyaku ebi (or hogtie) and scorpion poses. Ceci will teach you the essentials of how to construct the position and what to take into consideration in terms of safety. You can stay in partial suspension or create a full suspension in the class depending on your skill and comfort levels.
Style: Ceci’s tying is best described as fusion-style with a deep understanding of different schools of Japanese rope bondage. They are a specialist in modifying harnesses to different body shapes, sizes, compositions, and abilities. Ceci is driven by understanding why people tie the way they tie, and loves to deconstruct technique and communication into their basic elements to understand them better. In suspension, Ceci prefers working low, staying connected, and moving through transitions.

We teach in spoken English. The space, KARA, is on the ground floor but has three steps to enter the house. A ramp for wheelchairs is available at all times. There is also a parking space available right in front of the door if needed. KARA has an accessible bathroom available. There are no thresholds in the entire house. The garden is only partially accessible at the moment. During the workshop, we will sit on the floor. Sitting in a chair can also be provided. We will show adaptations for physical needs and they can also be provided upon request. If you participate in this workshop and need more assistance please message us at info@karada-house.de beforehand.
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid,
Friends describe 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 acknowledgment 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. 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 proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
