More about VoxBody Studio
VoxBody offers monthly rope classes at all levels, several monthly rope jams, yoga, life drawing events, the occasional non-rope kink class, discussion groups, labtime and performance events! There is an in-house rope bondage curriculum that takes students from absolute beginner to suspension over the course of one year. VoxBody means ‘the voice of the body.’ In this community space, we explore the interplay of body, mind, and emotions, and the many ways that expression can take form. VoxBody Studio strives to be a safe(r) and inclusive space. In this house we believe that kink is political and we lean into this truth, as well as the history of sex work that has informed the practice of rope bondage. We are always a work in progress.
The Team

Blue
(she/her)Founder, Teacher, House Mama
Blue has been teaching, performing, and facilitating rope events since 2012. In 2017, she opened VoxBody Studio, the Bay Area's first rope-dedicated venue, which has thrived over the last ten years as a testament to the community that shapes its culture. Blue is an enthusiastic sWitch who believes bondage education should address both sides of the rope, and adores the deepening inquiry that rope practice can be on physical, mental, and emotional levels. Find her on IG @miss_true_blue.

Ivy Limieux
(she/they)Teacher, VoxFox, Switch
Ivy Limieux joined the rope scene in 2016 and is a bottom-leaning switch. SF born and raised in the greater kink scene, she believes rope is as fluid and adaptable as the people who practice it, and that every desire to learn deserves the opportunity to do so. She has taught and performed for Dark Odyssey, Obsidian_LA, Black Rose Education, and Kink.com, and served as producer, creator, and board member for various bay area orgs, most recently as bondage stage manager for Folsom Street Events.

Moxie
(she/her)Teacher, Performer
Moxie has been rope bottoming since 2015 and started tying a few years into her journey. She is passionate about restraint, aesthetics, body awareness, movement, immobilization, and rope that requires process. She enjoys challenging and vulnerable ties, as well as returning to familiar shapes that bring new knowledge over time. Moxie has performed at Twisted Windows, Folsom Street Fair, and Nuit des Cordes. She has bottomed for Kazami Ranki, Mistress Chiaki, and hua hua. Find her at @boundmoxie.
