Crossed arms harness — Shibari Essentials

This class is designed for those who had some experience in Shibari and want to deepen their practice.

In this class, we will be going over a versatile upper-body harness, and playing around the idea of "self-restrictive" ties.

To get the most out of this class...

• The Rigger must know how to tie a single column
• Both the Rigger & rope bottom must have a solid understanding of safety and risk management in rope bondage.

What do you need to bring?

• 3 x 30ft rope (but feel free to bring more!)
• 1-2 short ropes
• You & your bottom's aftercare needs.

The host will also provide yoga mat to tie on, snacks, and water.

Common Q&A

1. Do I need to bring my own rope?

The host will provide jutes for everyone to use. However, it is strongly advised to bring your own ropes.

2. Do I need a rope bottom?

Yes. You will need a rope bottom to practice with. If you are a switch, pair up with your switch-y friends! You learn the most if you could experience both sides!

3. What should I wear?

For Riggers: Anything you feel the most comfortable in. You will feel warmer than your bottom, so don't put too many layers on!

For bottoms: Tighter clothes are the best. For example: tank tops and yoga pants. If you wear bras, please remember to take them off or wear wireless bras for upper body ties.

4. Are we doing any suspension?

You have the option to attach an upline to the harness for "stress-testing" if that's within your practice. The majority of the bottom's weight must be grounded.
