About this course
In this class, Gorgone teaches a basic Yoko Tsuri (side suspension) with her model Franz. She demonstrates a useful method to lift the body easily and smoothly using a pulley system and specific upline levels. Side suspensions are fairly comfortable for the model and are a good base to practice suspensions without too much stress. In this class, Gorgone uses a Gun Slinger and her Misungui Harness but you can use any chest harness of your choice instead, bearing in mind that a would be more threatening for the nerves on the loaded side. *Captions available for this series: English
Before you begin
Safety
This course utilizes suspension lines to create the final form. Before attempting, you’ll need to first familiarize yourself with safe suspension line technique and with the harnesses being used. As rope crosses the arms in this course, we suggest the person being tied be familiar with how to check their hands for signs of nerve compression. If you are newer to suspension, please only suspend with a spotter nearby or with the supervision of a qualified instructor.

In the Misungui harness, it starts with tying the hands behind the back, but in this version, the hands are free. How do you start the Misungui without tying the hands first?
