While it can be scary, exploring vulnerability with a partner can lead to deeper connection. It’s also hot. This class discusses strategies for playing with humiliation, embarrassment, and vulnerable feelings, without setting ourselves up to cause harm. Through the use of thoughtful negotiation, verbal cues, and body positioning, rope can be an excellent tool to facilitate this exploration of feeling both exposed and seen. Appropriate for all levels, and examples will be shared for floor rope, partial suspension, and full suspension.
