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!

Hi Ralf, and thanks for your question. Since we had the opportunity to shoot a Tenshi tutorial with the creator herself, we opted to take down Ropunawa's tutorial, as we wanted to feature the tutorial with more in-depth safety and adaptation information.

Actually you'll find lots of shoulder opening and twisting in the first 8ish minutes of the class, as well as lat stretching in down dog later in the class. If you're looking for more focus on upper body flexibility, you can check out the backbending video, which pays more attention to the shoulders and spine!

If you read the collection description, you'll see that the first video is actually geared towards riggers stretching themselves, while the second video is intended to help riggers stretch their bottoms. 

MJ Thanks for jumping in and helping out! 

Marielisa Thanks for your question! Yes, you can suspend from the self-tie version, and you're right that you would want to close this in a more robust way than Gorgone does in their demo. Using a half-moon friction like seen in the first tutorial or two L frictions would both be good options, closed with a final half hitch. 

We always recommend only using the harnesses you find on our site in the ways that our instructors show them. However, you could experiment with a Y hanger from the top band and chest band. A few things to note about doing this: a hanger like this has the potential to add pressure to the side of the arm right where we're trying to avoid load, and so a body position with a slight face up tilt to it can help to avoid this. A y hanger tied on the front like this also can't be easily attached when a bottom is in a face down position, as you can't tie it from the back and slide it to the side, nor can you easily get the rope in there in the front when the harness is loaded. Hope this helps!

A larks head will work just fine! One reason to use an overhand is that it doesn't require you to pull your whole length of rope through to build it, so from a handling perspective there's a small advantage to using the overhand. But try it both ways and see what you prefer :)
