Event Details

This class is part 1 of a 2-part-series is designed to build confidence & trust in people who tie someone larger than themselves and for rope bottoms to find comfort, confidence & trust in being tied up by someone smaller than them. The techniques and thought processes will be built up in a progressive way during this 2-class-series, however you can also choose to just visit one of the classes as they work also as stand-alone-teachings.

Model for the series: Elvis (also modeling in the photos)

 

Rope for Larger Bodies – Part I: Body & Rope Handling  (June 5th, 6.30 pm – 9 pm CET)

In this part, Pauline will show a few practical examples and hands-on exercises of how to handle the rope on a larger-bodied person and how to handle the person and their body itself in the most effective and comfortable way for everyone involved. Pauline will demonstrate a selection of ties and positions that people often struggle to do on someone larger-bodied. We will also discuss some other potential ties and positions that might come up during the class discussion.
