Class time is 7pm Pacific and offered via Zoom
* Zoom link and password is sent upon registration. Therefore we are not able to offer refunds for any tickets for online classes purchased at any time. Thank you for understanding!
* There will be no recording of this class. Be sure to register only if you are sure you can attend the live class! (hint: because these are online classes, they don't sell out, so you can register the day of class to be sure you can attend!)
* Exercises will be aimed at total beginners.
* These online classes run in a series of five classes and then repeat themselves. Classes are not progressive; it is not necessary to attend them in order. Attend all five in the series and learn different techniques that combined will build a wonderful beginners toolbelt for rope play!
* You can tie yourself or a partner. Please note that Blue, the instructor, will be demoing ties on herself and it's not always possible to demonstrate the way that would translate to a partner tie. Please be patient and open-minded with the format! Most exercises are planned/developed to be self-tied, but can absolutely be adopted to partner tying, and may require a little of your imagination!
* You'll need at least one length of rope. Preferred organic material (jute. hemp, cotton) at 6mm diameter/8m length, but bring whatever you have to use!
* Depending on your rope length, you may find yourself needing to attach another length of rope for the ties we do in class. Practice your rope attachments here.
* Please note there will be no class in May, since it falls on Memorial Day.
About the presenter:
Blue has been teaching and performing Rope Bondage since 2012. In June 2017, she opened VoxBody Studio, the Bay Area’s first rope-dedicated venue and launched a yearlong in-house core curriculum for students to move from beginner through to suspension. Her core belief about rope bondage is that the ties and knots are one part of a much bigger picture that includes focus on communication, consent practices, body awareness and anatomy, and energetics/how we show up for each other.
Blue is an enthusiastic switch, and believes rope education should address both sides of the rope.
