Between the two classes we will cover:
- Discussion of safety, ways to get out of trouble quickly and elegantly.
- Building a scene, interpersonal dynamics, and thoughts on communicating needs while maintaining those dynamics.
- Information for those being tied, including nerve spotting, testing ties to find ‘hot spots’, and body mechanics tricks to help manage tension/strain.
- Considerations when choosing suspension lines and some exercises to improve suspension line handling.
- A progressable partial suspension with option to turn into full suspension – great practice for line management, body handling, and keeping focus on the ‘big picture’ and partner interactions.
- Side suspension with options to add mini transitions – build this as complicated or straightforward as you want without making it harder to ‘exit’ smoothly.
- ‘Falling with style’ – a highly modifiable partial-to-full suspension progression focusing on lowering rather than lifting through a variety of positions. This is useful for those who want to stay closer to the ground, for tying folks who have concerns about grip strength, or in pairings where the person tying is smaller/lighter than the person being tied. This suspension can be done with a variety of upper body ties, including just a ‘safety’ line.
- Time dependent, we will also learn a quick and easy suspensionable futomomo.

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.
After your successful ticket purchase, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. If you do not receive it, message us with your order number so we can send it again. Some email services "disappear" our messages so please check if you received our login data email.
If this session includes a recording you can obtain it by simply purchasing a ticket. You will automatically get access to the live class and the recording as they come in a package. The recording login data will be sent out 24–48h after the live event and will be available for (at least) 14 days after the live event. Please note these classes are places for experience, not for instruction. Nothing here is tested or graded — only perceived, felt, and shared. All offerings are invitations to reflect — no curriculum, no exam, no training. Recordings exist solely to support personal integration and are available only for a limited time.
Yes, because you are paying for the knowledge our facilitators distribute, not for the access to Zoom itself. We kindly ask you to respect that and pay accordingly.
