A simple tie that uses some all-time favorites. It can be very challenging to be tied in, and requires good observation skills from the rigger, as well as a detail oriented approach to rope placement. Small increments and subtle adjustments are the name of the game. For the person in rope: this tie can get intense very quickly, and finding the right placement for your waist rope can take some trial and error: spend time exploring, and ask for what you need. You’ll be grateful you did.
Members only4 weeksPartial Practice: The Raven
Quick, dirty, and anything but simple. Using only a basic chest harness and a double column tie, it’s no surprise that The Raven tie requires some real bottoming skills…and an affinity for a specific flavor of suffering. If you haven’t done much bottoming to rope that smacks you in the face with difficulty and eases off as quickly as it came on, this could be a fun exploration. For the riggers out there, the minimalism of this tie doesn’t let you off the hook. Make sure your double-column tie is on its best behavior! If you’ve never played with a pulley before, this is a fun place to start.

Members only4 weeksSuspension Study: Face Up
This challenge is designed for riggers and bottoms in the early days of their suspension practice when support, stability and sustainability matter most. If you’ve already been learning suspendable harnesses, using inanimate objects to develop upline skills, and can confidently communicate with your tying partner on the floor and in partials, this one is for you. It is all about guiding you towards that first face-up suspension: think safety, drills and skills, and the perfect hands-front harness for achieving lift-off.
Members only4 weeksSuspension Study: Self Suspension Adaptation
Many self-suspenders take their inspiration from partnered ties, but knowing what can be adapted and how can be a tricky part of your learning journey. This challenge starts with some tips and tricks specifically for self-suspenders, and ends with two partnered suspensions that will progressively challenge your adaptation skills.
Members only4 weeksSuspension Study: Side Suspension
This challenge is specially curated for riggers and bottoms who are ready to start exploring suspension, in other words, those who have already been learning suspendable harnesses, practicing tying uplines with inanimate objects, and practicing clear communication in floorwork and partials. From safety to skills and drills, it will help you do the groundwork to get your shibari practice airborne. We curated it for you to return to and learn from slowly and gradually. Make time to learn the information but also to develop habits around practicing rope regularly. If the harnesses are unfamiliar, drill them and lab them till they go on with great tension and flow. If uplines aren’t in your muscle memory, don’t move on until you feel more confident. The final video is there for you when you both feel excited, not nervous, about the challenge.
