There is a very talented group of rope bondage practitioners in Seattle known as Suspended Animation.
A year and a half ago they taught a two hour class to the Seattle Men in Leather. It was the first time that I had tied rope bondage.
The Suspended Animation group is teaching a suspension intensive class to the public for the first time.
Suspended Animation emphasizes dynamic suspension. Movement, swinging, twirling. On the border into aerial acrobatics.
I spent a good chunk of this evening practicing their style of attach and lift. A good portion of this practice was performed blindfolded to improve my muscle memory.
