Backbends Study - Pauline Massimo & Fabiana Iraci

Backbends Study - Pauline Massimo & Fabiana Iraci

When buying a ticket for this class you will have access to the live class and class recording.

Workshop suitable for all levels tying and bodies being tied. Some exercises with ropes can be advanced but easily adapted to beginners tying.

This online workshop with Pauline Massimo (Shibari) and Fabiana Iraci (Professional Yoga teacher & dancer), aims to create an exclusive educational collaboration where deep knowledge about the body works together for the benefit of engaging in complex rope sessions that involve backbends of the body. Learn about how backbends work and train the body and mind before approaching it in ropes, firstly to protect from injuries but also to be able to go a little further and deeper with the rope practice.

Programm:

-Preparation and yoga exercises by Fabiana Iraci, a professional Iyengar yoga instructor and professional dancer).

-Demo of simple rope restrictions for beginners or rope minimalist enthusiasts.

-Build backbends around safety and progression.

-Demo with a complex suspension technique with a backbend applied.

-Discussion and questions.

Requisites:

• If you are a beginner tying person, we only require you to know about safety, anatomy risks, and single/double column ties. Knowing a bit more such as simple or complex frictions and proper tensioning is super welcome.

• If you are an intermediate to advanced tying person, it's required to have enough experience in tying harnesses, and minimum knowledge of up-lines for suspensions for both models & riggers will be suitable for the partial suspensions and basic static suspensions. 

• We encourage and expect models/people who are tied up to know a minimum level of experience being tied before participating or practicing with this workshop as this topic might affect their own experience strongly and we do not recommend inexperienced models try backbends with ropes. Please be aware of anatomy risks, possible injuries and how they happen, early signs of injuries (nerve or others), and how to mitigate those injuries and risks, etc.

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT to tie above your level and hurry into steps that you are not comfortable executing.

Materials:

• You will need your own ropes and safety cutting tools.

• You will probably need at least 2 ropes per harness tied or more. We recommend ropes between 7,5 m to 8 m, longer is exceptionally welcome from 9 m to 10 m.

•Matt and comfortable clothing for the yoga exercises and stretch.
