Tying harnesses is a fundamental rope bondage skill. Chest and hip harnesses are versatile components that could be used in a variety of play styles from simple bedroom bondage all the way to rope suspension. They provide sturdy handles by which a person could be held and moved, and an attachment point on a person’s body to tie them to something.

In this class, we will cover the basic techniques required to tie harnesses. After that we move to learning a chest harness and a hip harness.

What to bring

• 2-3 pieces of 25’-30’ 5-6mm rope. Natural fibre rope is preferred.

• 1-2 pieces of 10’-15’ 5-6mm rope (optional). Natural fibre rope is preferred.

• A yoga mat or something else soft to tie on. The floor is hard and might be uncomfortable for tying.

• A small blanket for warmth.
