Body-Focused Rope Bondage with KerrigorBound and Nightlite000
2025-06-17 20:00 - 21:30
Class Description
The various flavors and styles of rope bondage are usually taught with a focus on the rope—what knots or frictions to tie, where to put it, and how tightly to wrap it. But rope is fundamentally a solution to a problem: the body can move, and you don’t want it to.
This course is an introduction to rope bondage that starts with the body, looking at how people of various physical abilities move and how best to make them stop. Taught from the perspectives of both the bottom and the top, it will cover the basics of rope safety and handling, as well the basic principles of harness design and restraint. Although designed for those new to exploring rope, class contents will be of interest to intermediate practitioners who are looking to refine their tying.
This course requires at least two lengths (~30 ft. each) of rope; the instructor will have a limited supply if you do not have your own. Attendees should know how to tie a single column tie. Although most of this course will not require a partner, they’re more fun if you have one! Solo attendees are welcome but cannot be guaranteed a partner to tie.
Course structure:
30 minute discussion followed by 45 minutes of practical exercises, with 15 minutes left over for discussion and questions at the end.
