You’ll learn the “what” and the “how” of tying: handling your rope, basic knots, simple harnesses, and how rope can connect bodies and moods. We keep it relaxed, safe, and supportive.

explore in any order – take them in parallel, jump between topics, repeat your favorites

Rope in the Air

Suspension

You’ve got your groundwork sorted. Now we take things up — literally. Learn suspension techniques from easy to challenging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to take Rope School classes in order?

No! Each Tuesday class stands on its own. Jump into whichever topic interests you. The cycle repeats every month, so you can catch anything you missed.


What if I can’t make a specific Tuesday?

No problem – there’s no fixed progression. If you miss any Rope School class this month, catch it next month. Your Rope Card credits stay valid for 12 months.


Do I need to bring my own ropes?

Whereas we can lend you some ropes for anything floor work related, it does make sense to get your own ropes at this point. 3-5 ropes are enough, add another 3 once you start suspension. You can get ropes in our shop if available or buy them at Other Nature.


Can I use my Rope Card for workshops?

Rope Cards are for Rope School classes only. But cardholders get 15% off Rope Level-Up classes and 10% off Master Classes by visiting teachers!


What’s the difference between Rope Fundamentals and the Monday Absolute Beginner class?

The Monday class is for absolute beginners – your very first steps. Rope Fundamentals assumes you’ve got the basics down and goes deeper into technique, patterns, and connection.


Can I attend Rope in the Air without suspension experience?

Yes, but we recommend taking the “Level-Up: Into the Air” workshop first if you’re completely new to suspension. It teaches safety fundamentals that the Tuesday class builds upon.
