If ankle cuff inversions strike you as a grudge match with gravity, this class endeavors to offer a more cooperative conspiracy.
We’ll walk through the gravity boot pattern – a friendlier route to getting gloriously upside-down from a foot (or two) while maintaining speaking terms with your ankles – and showcase it in a partial suspension before taking it for a spin in a full suspension sequence suitable for partnered or self-suspension play.
Options for dynamic self-suspension will also be offered.
Hands-on time will give attendees with appropriate experience time to try either the partial or (advanced) the suspension sequence.
Pre-requisites:
This class is self- or partnered-suspension friendly!
* Tyers: The ability to independently tie a suspension-worthy chest and hip harness and secure hanger and upline configuration. Experience tying partials and at least two suspension positions.
* Flyers: Ability to recognize and communicate physical and emotional concerns while in rope. Experience being in inversion.
* Self-suspenders: All the requirements for both tyers and flyers, with specific experience in a self-suspension context.
* Everyone: Knowledge of safety basics. Risk awareness and self-knowledge to participate at a level that is safe(r) for you.
No one tie will work for every human. This minimalist tie prioritizes movement over support. The suspension is an “advanced” sequence from a flyer & tyer perspective; as a partial, it is imminently scale-able!
Materials needed:
A basic suspension kit for single points. Ideally, attendees will hang two suspension points; bring an extra strap if possible. Nylon rope is recommended for harnesses; at least one rated upline (nylon, POSH, etc) is required.
7:15pm: Doors open. Please arrive with time to check-in and set up your point before class start time!
7:30pm: Class starts. 7:45pm doors closed/no late entry.
Tickets are available for both self-suspenders and tying pairs. Be sure to register with the correct ticket so we have an accurate count of attendee make-up. One self-suspender per point, with the option to bring along a spotter. One tying pair per point.
