About the event
Connection and flow are the foundation of rope communities, and they can be applied to any practice.
In this workshop, we will guide you through a simple exercise that will open you up to the power of connection. We will reveal four crucial points that will enable you to LOVE establishing connections.
Finally, we will incorporate these points into flow exercises that will enhance your tension and handling skills and will transform the way you approach your practice.
***Please note that this class is designed for tying pairs--one ticket admits two people.
