Bottom Led Tying
It's not topping from the bottom, I swear! Well...maybe a little. In this class we will discuss and lab what rope looks like when the person in rope is directing the scene. Attendees will leave with knowledge on:
The "What" and "Why" of this kind of tying
Benefits for the person tying and the person in rope
Considerations for this type of play
Specific needs for the person tying and the person in rope
There will be a demonstration, and then it will be your turn to practice. So bottoms, warm up your vocal cords!
This class is suitable for multiple rope skill levels as it can be adapted from simple ties to full suspensions.

Bondage Building Blocks
Hands-on workshop where participants will learn 2 knots (overhand, reef), 2 hitches (lark's head, half hitch), 2 ways of joining rope, and 2 forms (single column tie, double column tie) that will provide a solid foundation for exploring rope bondage. The class will also cover the basic rope handling skills (tension, friction, and redirection) and rope bundling options. An understanding of safety is assumed. Bring a minimum of 1x10ft and 1x30ft lengths to use.

Breath Play and Rope
This workshop will cover basic principles and techniques for breath play in rope.
Mr O will share his knowledge and experience with strangulation play discussing risks, general safety, negotiation and consent. Risk mitigation will also be discussed from the person in ropes perspective, as well as techniques for endurance and managing stress / panic in strenuous positions.
This workshop is suitable for those with intermediate tying skills but no previous breath play experience is required. All ties can be modified and adjusted to suit the comfort and risk profile of the participants.
The overall content of this class may be adjusted based on the skill level of the attendees.
Pre-requisites for person tying: TK or other upper body harness. A basic knowledge of knots and frictions (single column, x-friction, munter). Basic rope handling skills.
Pre-requisites for person being tied: Ability to communicate during stressful positions.

A Tale of Two (Torture) Ties
Description - We love pain in this house. We don’t, however, like working hard. In this class we will cover two very simple but highly effective, low effort, torture rope ties and demonstrate a way in which they may be used in a partial suspension sequence to get the most pain out of your Bottom for the least amount of effort.
Pre Reqs - Top: Suspendable chest harness, basic rope fundamentals, secure uplines and communication skills.
Bottom: Body awareness, ability to communicate effectively under immense stress

Aguras in Suspension
The Agura Shibari, also known as the lotus leg tie, can be either very supportive or sadistic, allowing couples to achieve unconventional twists on traditional poses. In this advanced suspension class we will teach a sequence showing different ways to think about this tie in play, and show off just how versatile they can be. An Agura pattern will not be taught during the class, however we will teach the modifications necessary to make everyone's tie more sustainable for the sequence. Students are required to show up with a pattern they have previously tied and suspended successfully, as well as know a suspendable upper body harness, and be comfortable with multiple transitions.

Arms Front Chest Harness
Start restricting more movement by bringing the arms in on your chest harnesses. Moving past the basic two band chest harness can sometimes be scary and difficult. Where does one start? What new safety risks are involved? How do you build it with enough structure for rough body play or possibly suspension, or even just to restrict that extra wiggly worm? This class will cover all the information needed to start advancing your basic bondage knowledge and needs.
Prerequisites - single column and a basic 2 band chest harness

Adaptive Bondage: Modifications for Every Body
Hands-on workshop exploring bondage for diverse bodies and abilities, focusing on adaptations for varying limb mobility, flexibility, body shapes, sizes, and proportions. Learn practical techniques to modify popular ties and positions, adapting classic forms for accessibility without compromising aesthetics or pleasure. We’ll also discuss common complications and effective modifications to mitigate them. Every body is different, every person has unique needs—let’s make bondage inclusive, accessible, and enjoyable for all. An understanding of safety is assumed. Bring a minimum of 2x10ft and 2x30ft lengths to use.

Thinking About Harnesses – Suspendable Thigh Options
Why do we tie the things we tie? In this class, let’s forget about patterns. Instead, we’ll start by asking what we want our thigh harnesses to do once we suspend. Depending on what the class wants their harnesses to do, we’ll figure out what components we want to include and start building our harnesses. Recommended – “Fundamentals – Frictions and Knots.” Participants wanting to load the harnesses should also have solid up-line management skills.

Rope Bondage for Impact
Rope can be a versatile tool for restraint, but many people mistakenly believe they need to know tons of patterns before they get started. In this tie along class, we will teach several simple 1-2 rope ties to restrain different parts of the body. We will also cover fundamental concepts so each rigger can feel more confident in building their own harnesses. Students will need to know a single column tie and bring 4 hanks of rope to class.

The Melting Popsicle Sequence
Description - This is a challenging suspension sequence class designed to help Tops and Bottoms both learn how the body moves through various positions in suspension. The Melting Popsicle Sequence will move the bottom through a few dramatic shifts in positions, both inverted and non in an effort to both show the Top how to move through them as well as to help the Bottom learn to active-bottom through a variety of stressful poses.
Pre Reqs Tops - Back and Front Loadable Suspendable Chest Harness, Suspendable Futomomo, Suspendable Ankle Cuff. Secure top and bottom lock off upline and communication skills.
Bottoms - Strong body awareness, ability to communicate under stress, knowledge of how their body feels in suspension.

Struggle Play and Rope
Many of us like rough body play, and many of us like rope bondage too. What could be better than both combined? In this workshop we will look at using grappling take downs and pins to keep our partner still while we tie them, and ways we can use rope to control and move them as we play.
Topics covered will include:
– Negotiation
– Safety
– Take Down
– Pins
– Quick Ties
– Body Manipulation
Attendees should know a non-collapsing single and double column tie.

Circus Ties - Single Columns and (Near) Death
Come for a masterclass in the Somerville bowline laced with stories from circus performances with jute rope - and no net.
Your presenters have performed "circus shibari" for years. The ties they use often must support both the rigger and the bottom while they both fly out over the audience.
We'll start with a discussion of the ultimate stunt, hanging 24 feet above the floor in nothing but a loop of jute around the ankle. You'll develop a new respect for the Somerville bowline.
We'll dive into the trade-offs between safety and speed that are made in circus performances for vanilla audiences. We'll touch on training for stunts, and on the process of finding sustainable ties that work for the bottom's body.
Suitability:
Tops who are tying - good understanding of the Somerville and tension, and suspension experience.
Bottoms who are being tied - body awareness and pain management skills, and the ability to communicate in stress ties.
All are welcome to tie along - those who want to try ties will need to have TAs assist. Rope: 1 hank to a full kit (6-8 hanks) depending on what you would like to try, and suspension equipment.
