Harnessing— Upper Body Bondage: Tengu

Level 2 with William

For this offering we will be introducing and going into the details of upper body harnesses. Our focus will be on learning these unique structures and understanding how to build them piece by piece to be sustainable for our bottoms and structurally sound for any kind of play between floor and suspension. As is always the case, a structure is just a plan until it is tailored to each person’s body who is receiving the rope. We will be examining anatomical considerations and also working to find the right “feel” within the bondage. Both bottoms and tops will gain useful somatic experience through repeating the tying patterns within a supported environment.
