Sunday is where the suspension lines start to add to the fun. Some people like static suffering in suspension, some people want to move around and dance. This day is for discovering the opportunities verticality brings to your bondage.
Suspension lines are not useful only for getting into the air, they also bring a new element to your floor based sessions. We start with a warm-up in partial suspension, using the rope for leverage and figuring out how to move a body around with the least amount of effort (yours and theirs). We will explore how to create exposure and connection with simple suspension lines.
Then we get playful. We’ll practice predicament shapes, where something always sucks and you get to choose how. We will also play rope games to keep things interesting and find new dynamics to explore. You will learn how to collaborate as a bottom – and how to not.
We will explore face-up and leg opening positions, predicament, movement, and restriction. All of it is done in partial suspension, so you can keep your focus on each other instead of stressing about the rope.
You will need a partner for Play in the Air. Ticket price is per pair.
Take Aways:
- Moving bodies with suspension lines
- Restriction & power exchange on the vertical plane
- Rope games & fun
- Predicament shapes in partial suspension
- Face-up partial suspension
- Leg opening partial suspension

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.
