This monthly intermediate open rope training is directed at building on what has been taught in the Beginner Open Rope Training. We will dive deeper into topics, techniques and ideas that give more range and depth to your rope practice.
Topic of Exploration: Kata-ashi Suspension
Open, beautiful, and vulnerable. Tie using your choice of chest harness with single column ties and a futomomo to explore one of the most intense suspension positions – kata-ashi, with one leg up. Practice control and intention — and discover the psychological impact of exposing the body with purpose. You will also learn how to tie a futomomo in suspension. Ceci will show you 3 versions of the position: partial suspension, full suspension, and challenging version.

In 2026, we will switch to a new rope curriculum with monthly classes for all experience levels. Your Open Rope Training Discount Card is still valid for these classes.
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.
