Common Q&A
- Do I need to bring my own rope?
The house will provide jute for everyone to use. However, it is strongly advised to bring your ropes.
- Do I need a rope bottom?
There are self-tie options for all the exercises. But it would be best if you have 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!
- 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.
- Will I be able to learn to suspend someone?
No. This class will be groundwork focused.
