So often we can find ourselves tying the same thing and feeling a bit stuck about ‘where to go’ or ‘what to do’ when we self-tie. In this session, we will step away from patterns and step by step harnesses and start to think more about tapping into our intuition, curiosity, and creativity with self-tying. We will find ways to surprise ourselves in rope and get an inspiring boost of new ideas for solo rope play.
Sophia will offer exercises and suggestions to work with the senses, breath, quality of movement, sounds, space, contrast, props, and more. Together we will explore these different prompts and ideas to expand the spectrum of possibilities when we self-tie. This class is open to all levels, and you are invited to participate at the level which feels confident and good for you – if you want to do partial suspension during this session you can. Sophia will demonstrate some very basic ideas for exploring partial suspension (no full suspension will be shown and it is not recommended for this class).
This class can be done standing, sitting, or lying down on a bed/on the floor. If it feels good, you are invited to bring any props, toys, materials, or items which you would like to work with during this session. It could be because of an interesting texture, smell, sensation, or something which is symbolic and meaningful for you.
Though open to all levels, you will really benefit from knowing some basics for this class – a single column tie, basic frictions such as reverse tensions, and how to handle rope with some fluidity. Sophia will offer a 1-hour session prior to this class for those who would like to go over these basics.
