Unfortunately not, and our sincere apologies if the thumbnail created mismatched expectations to what the content of the class was. When we host live classes we always ask our instructors to send over photos that somewhat match what they'll be teaching, and in this case we went with a photo of a vertical suspension. Again, apologies that the shape in the image wasn't covered in class!

That's an interesting question. We don't currently have a tutorial for that specific position, but we always encourage people to think of shibari like Lego: lots of building blocks to be assembled and reassembled creatively. This specific harness is very minimal, and so we would recommend experimenting first with a more structural agura harness. We would also recommend only trying this with a bottom who is extremely comfortable with their legs crossed and feet on top. Finally, if you're not already a part of our discord community, that's a great place to share ideas with other rope enthusiasts who might be able to help your exploration.

Reiss Reid  Correct!

You're right. Thanks for that feedback. We're fixing the link to point towards the Butterfly Harness tutorial, which does show the full body version of the tie :)

Yes! You can absolutely attach a suspension line directly to the harness without incorporating the hands, as you see in the Butterfly Harness Suspension Lines tutorial :)

You're welcome to give it a try. It's important to note that, in inversion, the ropes next to the neck are likely to take a lot of load, which could be uncomfortable or even create a fainting risk. Talk to your bottom as you're experimenting and make sure that you have a quick plan for how to come down if the rope around the neck becomes too intense. You can also experiment with making the top chest band a bit tighter, so that it doesn't pull up quite as high towards the neck (which will decrease a bit how much those two ropes next to the neck create squeeze).

Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate it and have made a note of it for future productions!

Thanks for pointing this out! Re-engaging the chest harness is a good call :)

Unfortunately, at this point in time we're able to subtitle but not dub videos. Are you able to see and use the English subtitles?

This tk does work for inversions. A thoughtful third rope can definitely help with top wrap slippage, however, tension and placement might also need your attention. If you have the ability to have an instructor look at your box tie in person, that can be really helpful. If you're looking for feedback on your box tie, you can also join our Discord and get ideas from folks there about how you might mitigate this issue!
