Hit Me Up: Tie Me Down - INTERMEDIATE
You want to learn to be a better bully? This class explores several simple but sadistic floor-based predicaments of varying intensity, as well as several tips and tricks for how to cause (consensual) distress with our favorite medium, rope. These “quick and dirty” predicaments are just that–quick, simple, and sure to have your bottom sweating in seconds. We will also cover how to build a basic hog-tie / Gyaku Ebi, as well as a few pain-inducing rope-tricks.

About the instructor
In March of 2018 Sydona found her way into the NYC kink scene and never looked back. Since then, she's immersed herself into honing her rope practice, perhaps obsessively. She currently works full time as a nightlife performer, bondage artist, photographer, creator, and facilitator. In these past several years she's traveled both within the U.S. and internationally for rope opportunities, as a performer, as a student, and more recently as an educator. Previous to 2020, Syd trained and worked as a professional modern and contemporary dancer, a background she takes great pride in. With over thirteen years of experience as a movement artist, next to seven years of dedicated Shibari education, Sydona brings a unique, fluid, and delightfully sadistic perspective to this form.
