In rope bondage transition usually means changing position or shape of the one tied. Often the word ‘transition’ describes changing the position in suspension, though you can make transitions on the floor too. There can be only one or several transitions during one rope session. Transitions are a new element in suspension play; what happens in the body and in the rope when the position changes? Welcome to this workshop to figure it out!

Transitions are a technical element in rope play and you can tie them in several ways or with different energies; Amy’s style is soft and guiding, usually so that the person tied can easily figure out what’s happening next. In this workshop we’ll practice transitions in this style.

The workshop is aimed for those who have no experience in transitions. If you have a lot of experience you’re still welcome but it’s not mandatory. We’ll go through safety and risk assessments of transitions, technicalities and tips for those who are tied.

In the workshop we’ll have one exercise on the floor in semisuspension and one exercise in the air on full suspension. It’s possible to tie both exercises in semisuspension.
