  Rope Intensive : Non-TK Transitions

  with pandoradreams and g

  About the class:

  In this mini intensive, we will focus on dynamic suspension transitions using chest harnesses other than the gote, or TK. These chest harnesses will still provide a degree of support to the bottom while allowing for dynamic movements and creative shapes. We will explore the differences between dynamic transitions using a TK and non-TK based transitions, and necessary tying considerations/safety precautions. Emphasis will be placed on the foundational nature of the chest harnesses being instructed as the instructor is incredibly passionate that good, solid harnesses make for better, uneventful transition sequences.

  In this class, we will explore two transition sequences using non-TK chest harnesses. The first will be a shorter sequence aimed at warming up both the rigger and the person being tied while offering insight into load line management, management of lines at the hard point, and the creative possibilities of transitions that are not TK-based. The second sequence will be a highly advanced transition sequence with multiple steps that will challenge your load line management, planning, and the communication between partners. This sequence will also provide insight in how to position the body in elegant and abstract ways while using a non-TK chest harness.
  

  
  

  Prerequisites:

  Riggers - knowledge of a solid two rope TK. While the TK will not be used, the techniques used to tie the two chest harnesses will involve skills utilized in tying a suspension worthy TK. Comfort with load line management, understanding of tension in ties, and experience with static suspension. Some basic experience/understanding of dynamic transitions is preferred, but not required. 

  Bottoms - Strong sense of body awareness, ability to identify potential injury (nerve injury vs. compression), and excellent, thoroughcommunication required. Skills with pain/discomfort processing is also encouraged as the second transition may involve a couple of positions that may be uncomfortable. Prior experience with static suspension suggested. Experience with dynamic transitions preferred, but not required.
  

  
  

  Equipment:

  Every tying pair will need about 10-12 lengths of rope in good condition (however many you need for suspension, plus a couple more), suspension point hardware (carabiners, rigging plate, or ring), and a cutting implement. At least one extra carabiner is strongly recommended. An aftercare blanket and/or pillow is optional but nice to have.

  
  

  About our instructors:

  pandoradreams

  She / Her

  pandoradreams has been a member of the Denver kink community for 8 years. During this time, she has been involved as education coordinator for Denver Rope Bite and education coordinator/producer of Rope in the Rockies, and is an enthusiastic proponent of high quality, comprehensive education. She has experience with teaching rope, performing with rope, and rope photography, mainly in the Denver area. Her background as a rope bottom and her career in healthcare add to the comprehensive nature of her rope classes as she strives to include information that benefits both bottom and rigger.

  
  

  g

  (she/her)

  g entered the scene after an awakening to her submissive and masochist inclinations. She instantly felt a sense of belonging with the kink community, but it wasn’t until she moved to Denver over 3 years ago that she first was given an opportunity to experience the joy of suffering in rope. She is drawn to the physical and mental challenges of strenuous ties and the shared experience created with her partners. Over the years, she has been given opportunities to tie with several talented riggers and continues to explore ways of pushing her own limits while growing as an empowered partner in rope. Through her work outside of kink, g has also received training in the health sciences and enjoys opportunities where she can combine her scientific mind with the artistry of rope. She is looking forward to giving back to the community by sharing some of the expertise she has gained in her professional life along with insights she has acquired during her journey as a rope bottom.

  Rope Intensive : Suspension Tune Up

  with TheDude and BetwixtBlushes

  About the class:

  After months of covid I know that a ton of us are rusty as hell. This is an opportunity to knock of the rust, and get tuned back up. I am going to put @BetwixtBlushes up in various positions and you will repeat the position. Feel free to use whatever harnesses you like. After each position we'll come down, evaluate tension and placements, re-tie as needed and continue on to the next position. 

  People are encourage to use patterns you aren't super comfortable with here as well. Just be prepared, no matter which harness you choose, to recieve some feedback on it! Thats the whole goal of this workshop.

  
  

  Prerequisites:

  This is not meant to be an intro to suspension workshop. You should already have some confidence in your harnesses, as well as expereince using them in suspension. Bottoms should have awareness of suspension safety and ideally at least some experience in the air.

  
  

  Equipment:

  Every tying pair will need about 10-12 lengths of rope in good condition (however many you need for suspension, plus a couple more), suspension point hardware (carabiners, rigging plate, or ring), and a cutting implement. At least one extra carabiner is strongly recommended. A floor mat as the studio is not able to provide those at this time. An aftercare blanket and/or pillow is optional but nice to have.

  
  

  About our instructors:

  @TheDude (He/Him) was  has been tying for... a long time. Thanks to the opportunities provided by Denver Rope Bite and Studio Friction's efforts, he has had some amazing opportunities to learn from presenters around the globe. Pre-Covid he could often be found at parties and events having fun scenes, teaching and occasionally performing. These days he is focusing on play at home but still trying to build community through smaller, more focused, educational opportunities. 
  

  @BetwixtBlushes (She/Her) is another Denver scene regular. She was mostly excited by the prospect to get in the air multiple times...just to shake off the rust. But really, she is looking forward to discussing communication, processing, and other skills with everyone.

  Cost: $15/class or $45 for a 4 class pass

  There are so many yoga classes out there, why do we need another one? Because THIS is a yoga class for people who want to be more comfortable in their own skin taught by a yoga instructor who is! Learning how to be fully present in the moment will bring a new dimension to your life and relationships. Let mtn grrl help you stretch your mind and your body. Please note that these classes are clothing optional but there is nothing sexual about the practice. Classes are clothing optional – wear as much or as little as you wish. If you do plan to wear clothes, please wear work out type clothes that are not too baggy. Please bring a small blanket or large towel, and yoga mat. We meet every Tuesday at Studio Friction. Doors are locked for privacy, so please arrive 10-15 minutes before class begins! Anyone 18+ is welcome. mtn grrl is a certified yoga instructor. She and her partner, Fox, practice yoga together and feel it helps strength their nearly 40 year relationship. This month we will be focusing on opening our hearts - physically, emotionally and energetically.

  Masks are now required at all times in the studio per the colorado state mandate.

  To register, or if you have any questions or need directions, please feel free to email mtn grrl here, or at mtngrrlks@gmail.com or call or text her at 720-663-9752

  Special Photoshoot with Maiki

  Cost: $200 per 1 hour session - includes 3 retouched images

  
  

  Socially distanced photo shoot at Studio Friction. Come tie or be tied, and Maiki will photograph you in as many poses as you are able in your allotted time.
  

  Feature your own work, or bring someone to tie you, but if you would like one of us to do the rigging and styling, we can do that for an additional $50, but please arrange that ahead of time by reaching out to nate@studiofriction.com

  Proceeds are split with Studio Friction, so this is your opportunity to help your "Home for Rope", AND get some amazing photos of your rope work, or other favorite kink, with a very talented photographer.
