It's time for the bi-annual Dual Demons 3 minute soapbox single column tie moment. Come to this class, and you’ll understand why we choose to teach non-collapsible ties on purpose and use them almost exclusively in our own tying.
In this beginner-friendly class on non-collapsible single and double column ties, you will start to learn the technical aspect of these ties. We teach, with lots of break out time, how to securely and aesthetically tie ropes around various body parts on yourself (or your partner) with guidance and attention to safety. With hands-on instruction and a supportive learning environment, you will leave feeling empowered and equipped to explore the captivating world of rope bondage.
We have modified our cumulative intro to shibari cumulative curriculum for in-person learning without the pressure of having to attend every class. All of our core curriculum classes have a different topic that pulls elements from previous classes, but require no prerequisites for any individual class. Come to one, a few, or all!
These classes are built to be accessible to absolute beginners, but there is something to learn for all skill levels in each class of the Bael Series. We provide technical challenges where applicable for more intermediate students and we strongly believe that having a beginner mindset is crucial to being safe and successful in rope. Our discussion and theory heavy classes are also always changing as the scene changes and we learn and grow as teachers and practitioners ourselves!
You do NOT need a partner for this class, all of the material will be demonstrated and adapted for self-tying. We will aim to provide multiple ways to achieve each tie to account for differences in bodies, mobility, and general accessibility as best we can. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to support you.
Due to these accommodations and the hands-on nature of our teaching style, we have very limited capacity on our classes. Tickets are available at the door if we are not sold out on our ticketing page already.
