Introduction to Hashira

Hashira can provide a very intense and unique set of possibilities and experiences. It can be seen as an additional force to work with. Different than gravity or suspension lines it will restrict in very unusual ways. This will change how you approach your tying and body movement but also offer you a wide field of experimentation.

Yet there are myths and worries around the topic and surely, we need to take a closer look on what to focus on to make the experience safe and fun for both parties.

In this workshop you will have the opportunity to gain first experiences on tying on a pole. We will take a look on the philosophy behind, the hardpoint best to use on the Hashira and a first glimpse on how to manage uplines. We will focus on partial ties to get comfortable with body management and restriction as well as how to play with different intensions.

·       This workshop is aimed to intermediate students.
