If you’ve ever said (or thought), "Rope takes too long!" "It’s too complicated!" or "I just want to do something fun/sexy/mean," we'll help you skip the fancy, difficult rope work in favor of versatile, easy-to-learn techniques with immediate applications. 

After a quick safety speed round (so the instructors can sleep at night), we’ll cover our top 10 tips and tricks, including methods for efficiently and effectively using rope as a tool, spiral-style experiential ties, and delightfully intense foot, calf, and body ties. 

This hands-on class encourages self-tying for certain exercises and partnered tying for others; you can come solo or with a partner. We will not pair folks up; solo folks can self-tie all the activities.

** please note tickets are sold per person, if you are attending with a partner, you will need TWO tickets!

Absolutely no rope experience is necessary!

Supplies: The instructors will have some loaner rope. To tie along, we recommend at least one half length (approx 15 feet) and one full length (approx 30 feet) of rope. Jute or hemp is preferred.

If finances are a barrier for you to attend this class, please email us at voxbody@gmail.com; we have limited scholarship spots available!
