VoxBody is pleased to return to (limited) online programming for 2022! Keep an eye on our calendar for monthly beginners classes and a monthly Consent & Culture series!
Join Blue on fourth Mondays for a rope bondage basics class, covering fundamental techniques & tying as well as discussions around topics such as consent, communication, safety and intention.
Class time is 7pm Pacific and offered via Zoom
* We will send the Zoom link and password upon registration. Therefore we are not able to offer refunds for any tickets for online classes purchased at any time. Thank you for understanding!
* please note that August's class is on AUGUST 21 - Sunday evening!
* There will be no recording of this class.
* Topics will vary each month and will be aimed at total beginners.
* 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.
* Blue enjoyed offering these fundamental classes from April 2020 - November 2021 as a way to meet rope-curious people who live far and wide, or who may otherwise not be able to attend an in-person event at a studio. We are curious what the ongoing interest for online classes will be now that the studio is re-opened, but have received many message requests for them, so: HERE WE ARE!
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.
