Hit Me Up: Tie Me Down - Ropes For Impact - Advanced Beginner

About the Class

In this class we will cover a couple of my favorite ties to get those pesky hands out of the way and set someone up to be the perfect target. All ties will be floor based and will involve quite a bit of compression and bending.

This class is labeled as advanced beginner, so you should be comfortable tying a single and double column tie. Familiarity with basic frictions is ideal but not required.

All bodies are welcome! There will be modifications offered for all body types and flexibility. Rope is meant to be modified for each person you are tying, so adjustments will be possible and encouraged.

Price Transparency

The full fee for the class is $75 for TWO people (must come in a pair!).

If you identify as BIPOC or a SWer, please email us YWRtaW4gfCBoaXRtZXVwbnljICEgY29t for a discount towards your purchase.

FAQs

FAQ: what should I bring?

Bring 4-5 hanks of rope and your safety shears. Folks are also welcome to bring their favorite impact toy. I love show and tell!

FAQ: what should I wear?

Whatever you feel comfy in! Bodysuits, shorts or snug fitting workout clothes are generally perfect for classes. Please just keep your bottoms on!

FAQ: any skill pre-requisites? (i.e., is this for beginners, advanced, everyone?)

Tops: As this is labeled an advanced beginner class, you should be confident about your single column and double column ties. Knowledge of basic frictions would be ideal but is not required. If you need a refresher before class, review some of the videos here: www.youtube.com/@TrixieLaPointe
Bottoms: You must feel comfortable being bound in challenging positions but also skilled at communicating your needs.

FAQ: can I attend solo, or do I need to come with a partner?

You must come with a partner for this class. Please note - if you are planning to switch, there might not be enough time for you to try every tie twice.
