ROPE/POWER
Power Exchange in Rope
We know that there can be an implicit power exchange between the rigger and the rope bottom; allowing someone to bind you especially when your limbs are restricted is an act of trust.
But how can you REALLY hold dominance in the rope, and drop your partner deeply while you’re tying?
Sai Jaiden Lillith is a ProDom/me specialising in Shibari, and over nearly a decade of tying personally and professionally can distill core techniques, mindsets and training to help you feel in control of the ropes, the play, your sub, and most importantly, yourself.
These techniques can (and should!) be used by riggers of ALL skill levels! Regardless of the level of your technical patterning skills, the lessons in this workshop can be applicable to take your tying to the place you want it to be in, if you feel you’ve been missing a piece of the puzzle.
REQUIREMENTS
Equipment: 2 pieces of rope, though 1 will still be ok. There will be very limited class ropes available
Partner: Partner would be highly beneficial, though not required to get something out of this workshop.
Skill Levels: Beginner to Advanced
