It's important to have already discussed the framework of your practice (desires, intentions, limits, ways of managing consent).

During a bondage session, the breathing of the tied person is often impacted. Even a simple chest harness can become real torture when breathing in certain positions. Rope is a perfect tool for exploring breath play. A rigger can influence their partner’s breathing through different areas: the mouth, throat, ribcage, or abdomen.
Before experimenting, we’ll take time to understand how breathing works, what happens in the body during breath restriction, and how to recognize and reduce the risks involved. We’ll also discuss how to communicate clearly with your partner before, during, and after this type of play, so that everyone can make informed decisions and stay within their own boundaries.
This workshop is also deeply focused on the experience of the tied person. We’ll explore the wide range of physical sensations, emotional responses, and psychological states that breath play can evoke, and learn how to observe, understand, and respond to them
throughout a rope scene.
Once we’ve covered these foundations, we’ll experiment with different ways of incorporating breath play into rope. Breath play can be a powerful way to communicate through ropes, creating an intimate dialogue built on trust, attention, and mutual awareness.

More Information
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.
