Backbend 101 w/ @Insign1A — Anatomy for Rope Bondage

This is a class for both Riggers & rope bottoms

The backbend is a powerful and captivating pose that we often explore in rope bondage. Yet, with this intense shape comes the need for careful exploration to prevent injury and ensure the well-being of the rope bottoms.

At Backbend 101 w/ @Insign1A, we want to shine the spotlight on the body's anatomy and mechanics. This class is designed to share with both Riggers & rope bottoms the intricacies of back bending, focusing on safety, body awareness, and training methods to deepen the backbend.

• Anatomy of the back muscles & spine
• Warm-up and Post-backbend stretches
• How to put someone into a backbend: The Do's & Do NOT's
• Demo: A simple back-bending sequence (groundwork)

What do you need to bring?

• A pen & your notebook
• Water bottle and towel.
• Some ropes if you have them

We have loaner ropes if you don't have your own ropes yet. We will also provide yoga mats to tie on, snacks, and water.
