@thementaldamsel is now regretting being disrespectful to the handyman that came over to fix a leak in the bathroom.

Now bound and gagged only in her lingerie, stockings, and high heels in her basement,she wondered what plans the handyman had in store for her.

Your rope work is beautiful and inspiring. I love watching your flow and the looks in your and your subjects’ eyes.

I was wondering, where did you learn to do Hashira? Do you have any resources you’d recommend I look into, or is this a “go to a class” skill?

I’ve been wanting to learn how to do it ever since I started learning suspension, but haven’t found great resources on safety, setting up a space for it and considerations for differing body types.

Thanks :3

Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏

I learned hashira after having about a year and a half of suspension experience. I took a few private lessons from a local rigger in the community and went to a weekend long hashira intensive at a local rope studio and learned more. Then I practiced a ton starting with partials and working my way to full suspension. I would highly recommend learning in person. Hashira can be tricky because you aren’t just tying someone in the air, you are tying them to the post, so upline management can be more complex and finding sustainable poses tailored to the specific person can be difficult and take time. In my opinion external resources are great for extra knowledge and additional tips and tricks but nothing beats the efficiency of in person learning when watched over by a practiced eye. Also it can be quite technical and a book or video can’t tell you if there is a mistake or watch you and then give you helpful hints based on what you did.

Resources for this can be difficult to find. I was very privileged that I had a rigger who taught private classes in my city. For the intensive though I did have to travel. I also became a regular at local rope events so that helped me find and hear about events both in my city and in other cities.
