IN BETWEEN /// HAN YUKA-ZURI /// INTENSIVE PARTIAL SUSPENSION LAB 3 ///

IN BETWEEN — HAN YUKA ZURI /// PARTIAL SUSPENSION LAB 3
Attendance needs : Duo/ Couple Workshop 
Level: Intermediate / Advanced

this workshop continues the In Between partial suspensions series: a sequence of Shibari Labs dedicated to exploring partial suspension through structure, sensation, and somatic conscious learning.

In this 6 hours lab we will explore a variety of classical partial suspensions shapes,  we will investigate how different structures behave under partial load, how to create reliable attachment points, and how to introduce partial suspension safely while maintaining connection, communication, and emotional presence between Bakushi (rigger) and Ukete (model).

This is not about “pulling someone up.”

This is about learning how the pelvis carries the story of gravity through rope.

✨What We Will Explore

1) Kata - Ashikubi partial suspension
2) Futumomo Partial suspension
3) Hashigata Partial Suspension
4) Gyaku Ebi Partial
5) Kata - ashi Kaykyaku and transition

1. Kata - Ashikubi , a partial suspension involving a chest harness and one leg creating various 
   possibility for play, working with exposure, shame and sensory play
   

2. Load-bearing vs decorative elements
   Pelvic anatomy awareness: hip bones, soft tissue, and pressure mapping
   Stability without squeezing: comfort, spacing, circulation

3. Centre of Gravity & Body Control
   Where the body wants to hang from (and why)
   How hip harnesses create balance and prevent rotation
   Guiding posture through rope: pelvis tilt, spine pathways, grounded elegance
   Reading feedback through breath, tone, and alignment

4. Attachment Points & Tension Management
   Building clean, reliable connection points
   Preventing harness drift, collapse, or “riding up”
   Tension distribution: what holds, what supports, what should stay soft
   Micro-adjustments that create major comfort shifts

5. Uplines for Hip Harness
   Line placement and direction (what each angle does to the body)
   Single-line and dual-line approaches
   Managing rotation, asymmetry, and stability
   Testing load progressively and safely

6. Partial Suspension Techniques
   Supported lifts, assisted leans, hip-led tilts, and gentle sweeps
   Combining hip harness + leg harness principles (weight-sharing logic)
   Safe re-landing, decompression, and transitions
   When to pause, adjust, or come down

✨ Who This Lab Is For

6-hour lab

✨ Series Context
This lab is part of the In Between series.
Each lab focuses on a specific harness or tie adapted for partial suspension, building skill, sensitivity, and confidence progressively, providing everytiem new thoughts, perspectives and ideas, tools for creation with ropes.
