April Rope in Seattle
We salute those of you who’ve been taking advantage of the glorious weather to do some outdoor bondage. For everyone else, April has plenty of good indoor activities. Especially April 13, which has seven different rope events!
We’re particularly looking forward to three brand-new suspension classes in April:
The Secret to Vertical Suspensions is a very useful examination of some basic principles for making vertical suspensions more successful.
Gravity & Grounding: Body Manipulation in Rope promises a fun exploration of some of the most important techniques in suspension bondage.
Suspension Uplines is a new look at the technical aspects of safe and effective suspension uplines.
For something more relaxing, we highly recommend Shibari Nightfall: Spring Flower—get your tickets before they sell out!
Rope in Seattle is updated weekly and is available via the free web, email, RSS, and Google Calendar.
