All too often in our quest to gain proficiency in bondage the real 
reasons and fantasies that drove us here in the first place take a back 
seat to technique. We lose sight of the forms of sexual freedom and 
expression we were seeking when we began the journey. In this workshop 
we will do a series of exercises to capture those fantasies both as 
tops and bottoms. We will all do guided meditations (new age term for 
hypnosis) and group sharing to gather and experience the variety of 
ways we can all fantasize about and experience bondage. No tools are 
required to participate and participation is mandatory in the 
exercises. Some portions of the workshop may involve lying on the floor 
and a pillow and or blanket is suggested but not required.

This class will cover lower body and spinal anatomy and dynamic bio-mechanics. It will teach how to evaluate a bottom’s condition to understand how it may be affected by suspension bondages.  It will include some pros and cons of common suspension techniques and positions.  Common and potential problems will be discussed.

This class is designed for intermediate and advanced players who use suspension bondage positions.
