This weekend intensive will be an in-depth study of the solo rope bondage ties, suspensions, and transitions drawn from the corpus of Parker RopeBoi's style of self-suspension. We start with a fundamental single-position self-suspension and proceed through more dynamic suspensions and transition series while exploring the technical nuances of self-tying.

IMPORTANT! WORKSHOP PRE-REQUISITES AND PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

Each workshop has its own set of pre-requisite knowledge and skills. Read the descriptions carefully, as no refunds will be offered. If you have no suspension experience prior to this intensive, Workshops 4 and 5 are not for you. Workshop 4 is for those who have intermediate to advanced skill in suspension and/or self-suspension. Workshop 5 is available only to those that take the full series and is not available as a separate ticket.

All suspension and self-suspension is risky and physically challenging. You are the best judge of your body’s abilities and limits. If something feels that it will be wrong or harmful for your body, you should not attempt it in the class. Often the instructor can show easy and minor adjustments to make these ties more suitable for various bodies. If you do not have all of the physical abilities listed for each workshop, you can still learn most (nearly all) of the workshop material, and even attempt the full suspension transition if you feel up to it, but you might need to alter or skip certain particular transitions. If you have particular questions or concerns about the pre-requisite skills or physical abilities necessary for the workshops, please contact the instructor in advance at RopeBoi at gmail dot com.

Workshop 1 - Introduction to Self-Suspension
Workshop 2 - Dynamic Self-Suspension
