Arms-In Tengu (masks required)

About the Class

Some people just don't wanna be put in a box! This tengu has all of the advantages of a TK (multiple loadings points and a design that supports the chest across the shoulders, and so isn't just a glorified chest harness), but offers an easier, more sustainable anatomical position for folks whose shoulders just don't want to rotate into box tie.

Pre-requisites: Butterfly harness or equivalent. Single column.

About the Presenter

fuoco began her rope journey as a bottom in Phoenix ten years ago and shortly thereafter moved to London, where much of her early rope learning happened. Upon moving back to the US, she began presenting at cons and intensives around the country sharing her love of rope. As an educator, she's decidedly non-dogmatic in her approach to teaching. Her classes aim to help bottoms to better understand their bodies in movement, and to offer riggers the knowledge to adapt their tying to the unique needs of their partners.

When she’s not doing rope, fuoco is a professional acrobat. Her dedicated study of the mechanics of the body make her especially interested in developing more comprehensive education for bottoms informed by these practices. She's also a leftist who believes that kink is inherently political. She strives to bring her politics, her values, and an accountability for those values into her teaching spaces.
