Tie Me Down Beginners: Lower Body Ties

Hit Me Up: Tie Me Down

Beginner Class | Lower Body Ties

What you will learn:

In this class we will be covering a few different ways to tie the lower body. From decorative hip harnesses to binders that will take away movement and help your bottom relax a while . We will cover the challenge of tension when tying the legs, and how to have the rope and body sit comfortably. You will be encouraged to create your own leg tie using basic frictions and reverse tensions.

Who should attend:

All body types and gender expressions are welcome in this class. Rope is for every body! You can come with a partner or come alone. Self tying is possible with most of what we will cover. Prerequisite knowledge of a non-collapsable single column tie (specifically a somerville bowline.) Please review this video if you need a refresher before class. https://youtu.be/d7nVxZDhrFU Knowledge of any upper body tie is helpful so we can bring the two together at the end.

What to bring:

If you have rope, bring 2-3 hanks and your safety shears. There will also be rope to share, and some rope to purchase.
