Come join us for for a monthly round of chill rope practice and skill share! GingerSnap and Run will be here to present All Boxed In.

In this class, we will cover a box tie (arms-in-back chest harness) that was developed to mitigate some of the risks associated with these harnesses, especially minimalistic ones. This design offers a stable platform that many persons-in-rope find to be more sustainable than traditional box ties, and it can be loaded from the back, side and front!

We will warm up with some rope handling exercises to practice tension and flow, discuss risk considerations specific to this harness, cover modifications for different flexibility levels, and show attachment points for suspension.

This class will be a combination of demo and tie-along.

Prerequisites:
In order to participate in hands-on class activities, rope tops: this is not a beginner tie and should not be your first time tying a chest harness. You must be able to tie a non-collapsing single column tie, an in-line single column tie and be familiar with reverse tension, joining rope and basic knots & frictions. Persons being tied must have good body awareness. Both should have good communication skills and willingness to collaborate.

To bring:
* Basic rope kit (4+ hanks of rope suitable for human bondage & an appropriate cutting tool)
* Suspension kit (for those already proficient in suspension)
* A practice buddy is needed for hands-on participation. We suggest you arrive early if you wish to find another solo person.
* A notebook & pen/pencil

Presenter Bio: GingerSnap and Run

SnapAndRun (aka GingerSnap - she/they) and RunsForSnap (aka Run - he/they) started their rope journey almost 10 years ago. In addition to presenting and performing nationwide, they are active in their local community, offering a variety of rope classes and leading monthly rope jams. GingerSnap is a sensualist and sadist who expresses her creativity & passion through rope. Rope allows her to be completely present in the moment & connected to the person she is tying. Run is a brat and a pain slut. As a bottom and while self-suspending, he enjoys the physicality and headspace that he achieves while in rope.
