Intro to Rope Bondage

Have you been wanting to learn rope bondage but your hands were tied on where to learn? We’ve got you, friend! This practical rope skills for beginners workshop is centered on learning one knot and applying it to single cuffs, double cuffs, harnesses and more. This can be a foundational course where you can explore a whole world of rope or just be tied to this one awesome skill. In addition to knots, you will get pleasure and safety tips to maximize your experience, as well as a one-of-a-kind experience complete with bad jokes. Knot so bad, is it?!

The ties we will go over will include:

• lark's head
• single column tie
• double column tie

This class is taught in a pair format so while you can come as you are, we strongly recommend bringing a partner or friend. Everyone remains clothed; please wear clothes that you can move in-not too tight or too loose. While there is some class rope available, it is limited so we recommend people bring their own length of 30-40 ft rope (two lengths is helpful but not required) or pick some up before the class.

Chairs tend to get in the way on this one, so we will provide blankets and yoga mats for optional floor seating. We'll also have lots of long rope! Feel free to bring your own yoga mat and/or blanket if you prefer.

Rrefreshments and extra rope will be available to purchase. We request that all attendees be fully vacinated and show proof of COVID vaccination status at the door.

What To Expect From This Workshop:

While many of the classes at Lotus Blooms are lecture focused, the rope workshops are some of our more hands-on experiences. You'll be tying (and if you come with a partner, being tied- if you choose to switch). The instructor will direct you every step of the way on this one, so you are free to come with little to no rope experience.
