Transitions aren’t just how we get from one shape to another - they’re where so much of the magic happens. In this class, we’ll break down our approach to dynamic transitions: how to build them, how to survive them, and how to use them to deepen connection and expression in suspension.

From shifting weight in the air to managing tension between uplines, we’ll explore techniques for moving smoothly and safely between shapes—without losing sight of your partner (or your purpose).

This class is part of our Shibari 401 series for tying pairs who are already working in full suspension. We won’t be teaching upline mechanics, but we will dig deep into the structure, sensation, and scene-building potential of suspension forms. Expect hands-on time, conceptual depth, and plenty of room to explore.

You Should Know:

• Building and loading suspension-worthy harnesses
• Creating, attaching, and managing uplines
• Working with hardpoints in a studio or dungeon setting
• We will not be teaching uplines in this class.

You Should Bring:

• A complete suspension kit (carabiners, ring or rigging plate, hardware, etc.)
• Suspension-worthy harnesses you’ve already used
• A partner you can communicate well with - especially when things get intense
• Curiosity and a readiness to push your practice further
