Common Q&A

1. Do I need to bring my own rope?

The house will provide jute for everyone to use. However, it is strongly advised to bring your ropes.

1. Do I need a rope bottom?

There are self-tie options for all the exercises. But it would be best if you have a rope bottom to practice with. If you are a switch, pair up with your switch-y friends! You learn the most if you could experience both sides!

1. What should I wear?

For Riggers: Anything you feel the most comfortable in. You will feel

warmer than your bottom, so don't put too many layers on!

For bottoms: Tighter clothes are the best. For example tank tops and yoga pants. If you wear bras, please remember to take them off or wear wireless bras for upper body ties.

1. Will I be able to learn to suspend someone?

No. This class will be groundwork focused.
