Class: Thigh Harnesses

Why do we tie the things we tie? In this class, let’s forget about patterns. Instead, we’ll start by asking what we want our thigh harnesses to do once we suspend. Depending on what the class wants their harnesses to do, we’ll figure out what components we want to include and start building our harnesses. Recommended – “Fundamentals – Frictions and Knots.” Participants wanting to load the harnesses should also have solid up-line management skills.

About the Presenter

Miss_Acacia has been creating art in rope bondage and suspension since 2014. With a preference for symmetry and a focus on detail, her goal is to create a tie that works for her bottom’s body while still showcasing the beauty of rope. Starting with self-

suspension, she progressed to suspending others with an understanding of both sides of the suspension experience. She continues to focus on the fundamentals no matter how far her rope journey takes her, because she wants to understand the how and the why behind the structure of each tie. Once she feels she understands the purpose of each part, she is able to use them to transition and contort her bottom with the right ties for that sequence. She is frequently brainstorming with fellow rope enthusiasts to improve harnesses and make the most sustainable ties for her bottoms. In teaching, she focuses on making sure that bottoms and tops both grasp what the rope should look and feel like. She teaches for understanding of how each part and pattern works instead of memorizing patterns so that her students are better equipped to continue their education.
