Workshop content:

This workshop focuses on teaching three suspension-suitable harnesses. All harnesses will be thoroughly explained and taught in a way that ensures everyone can follow along. Individual guidance will also be provided on how to modify the harnesses for different body types and specific needs.

The workshop will cover:

• Tengu harness (plus different options for 3rd rope)

• Arm binder

• suitable places for uplines for each harness

• In case we have extra time at the end, we can do a third harness

After learning each harness, you are free to try them with an uplife if you have prior experience with them. This workshop does not teach uplines. At this point, I will first check the harness to ensure it is suitable for suspension.
