Ready to take your rope practice to the next level? This workshop is your gateway into the world of shibari suspensions — introducing you to the foundational skills needed to begin playing with suspension lines and exploring partial suspensions safely.
Suspension lines bring a whole new dimension to tying, adding verticality, tension, and creative potential—even without going fully airborne. By embracing partial suspension, you’ll discover how restriction can fuel expression, and how rope can serve not only as a tool of restraint and intensity, but also as a form of support.
Throughout this hands-on session, we’ll explore a variety of semi-suspension techniques that build your confidence and technical base while keeping things accessible and grounded. This is a perfect stepping stone into more advanced suspension play—no rush, no pressure, just solid, supportive learning.
This class is for ropey babes who’ve got the basics down and are ready to explore suspension without going fully into the air. It’s a great next step if you’re moving into intermediate classes like Open Rope Training or Rope Study with Dasniya.
Come solo or with a partner—there’s room for tops, bottoms, switches, and self-tyers. All genders, bodies, abilities, and dynamics welcome.
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 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 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 proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
