Classes
Hogtie Heaven
the hogtie is probably one of the most famous ties in the bondage world. But is when is a hogtie a HOGTIE? We have been in many different hogtie classes and while we typically pick things up, we have not seen a class that covers the variety of hogties that you will with us. In 90 min, we cover 10+ different variations on the hogtie, a couple specific to male bottoms. Let us share with you some of our many variations on the hogtie – Hands up, hands down, legs together, legs apart, using double column ties in a hogtie among other variations. It happens to be one of our favorite ties. The hogtie can be versatile and fun allowing for tight bondage, sadistic play, sensual touching, and it can be great for teasing and orgasm. This hands-on class will lead you though a variety of ties to achieve different positions and results depending how you want to use it.
Skill Level: Beginner. Bring: At least two 30′ lengths of rope, a blanket or mat for the floor.
Chi of Rope – Enhancing your energy play
Rope is a dance, typically a beautiful dance of two people, a wonderful energy experience. People feel energy, want to play with energy and want to experience but do not understand it. This class demystifies energy and teaches people to connect with their own energy to enhance the energy experience with a partner. This is a hands-on class so bring a partner if you have one (but not necessary!) We teach you how to balance your energy and focus your energy to play with someone else. The class will discuss energy, chakras, sensual uses of rope, the energy the rope can carry and teaching people to connect with their partner and teach them how to be more intimate with each other. We discuss energy orgasms, grounding and shielding in the class as well. As a married couple with extensive energy experience, we offer a unique perspective talking from both sides of the rope, top and bottom.
Skill Level: Beginner. Bring: At least one piece of rope, a blanket or mat for the floor and an open mind
Master of Puppets Suspension
This is a performance piece we have used in the past. The best thing about this tie is that the rope bottom has control over positioning, from upright, to sideways or inverted. Takes a bit of an athletic bottom to do it but it is a fun and dynamic tie that even advanced beginners can do. This tie is an EXCELLENT tie for sex while suspended as well….It is fast, simple and effective! Again a really FUN tie! Come on by and learn a new way to fly!
Skill Level: Advanced beginner. Please have some basic tying skills. Bring: 7 lengths of rope 30 feet. (Note: It is best if at least 3 of them are MFP or nylon rope). Optional: four climbing straps or nylon webbing 2′ each, A suspension ring and climbing strap if you have it. We will have a small amount of extra rope and a couple extra rings available to use.)
