Prompt Start. Meet outside the front of the venue prompt at 3pm as we will enter the studio as a group.

You will have an opportunity to change inside the venue if you have chosen to bring a sexy outfit.

Where:

To bring:

• It is strongly advised by the facilitator that you bring your own ropes if you can, although some spares will be available. We fully expect that you'll want to try the techniques out for yourself as soon as you get home! The ropes should be 8m in length, and if you are able to bring a few with you, bring some that are 4m. 
• A blanket, and a yoga mat if you have one. 
• Bottled water and sugary sweets. 

To wear:

Comfortable clothes you can move around easily in. We will be exploring the sexy and sensual elements of rope play so if you're comfortable doing so, wear lingerie or a sexy outfit you can move freely in. (Please be advised that the facilitator of this workshop is male, in case this has an impact on your outfit decision.)
