Tying Session with Natalie Rose

A session about the overall experience of being tied Format: A pre-recorded demo session with commentary Duration: 120 minutes Level: All levels Props: Note-taking tools This tying session is focused on the experience of being tied, the spotlight being solely on the person being tied, highlighting their strengths and capabilities, and how the decisions made by the rigger, show definition can support or enhance their experience. The decisions of the person tying are based on chasing sustainability, which means that we would want to continuously engage with the brain's ability to send endorphins and enkephalins throughout the session. This recorded two-hour tying session starts with a conversation between Natalie Rose and the person they are tying, beginning with a discussion of their intentions, desires, and boundaries for the session. Nat will start this session off with a version of the fully supported ‘running person’ position, from their prior month’s Shibari Study live workshop. Sit in with them as they offer a live commentary during the showing of the recording, describing the decisions they made, timing of transitions and the feelings that might have come up during the tying session. Please keep your skillset in mind when applying any techniques you will learn in this class to your practice.
