When you join us for Flight Path, all the essential gear is available for purchase right at the studio or online at our store.

We advise that you wait to purchase hardware (carabiners/slings etc..) until start of class.

Get everything you need to tie safely, confidently, and with the right tools from day one.

​See the syllabus for a complete list of gear requirements and recommendations.

Students should dress in comfortable clothing appropriate for a classroom environment. Stretchy clothing such as Yoga, athleisure or gym attire are your best option. Jeans are not recommended.

Bunnies (person being tied) should consider wearing shorts and a tank of some sort as shibari does work best skin to rope.

We have everything you will need available at the studio, including water , light snacks, mats. Feel free to bring your own water bottles, but please no open containers on the studio floor. Rope and rope accessories are available for purchase.

Should you desire some additional comfort, please feel free bringing a yoga mat, pillow, blanket or hoodie.

Attending Flight Path solo? Don’t worry—we will pair you with an experienced rope bottom!

If you’re coming alone, we’ll partner you with one of our experienced rope bottoms for the weekend for a one time additional pairing fee of $49. We will handle coordination of finding you a skilled Bound bunny directly so you can focus on learning, tying, and growing with confidence.

You’ll get hands-on experience with someone who understands rope, knows how to communicate, and is there to help you succeed!
​
If you require a partner, message us after signing up and we will get you paired with a rope partner for the day!

In Flight Path, you’ll develop a complete foundation for working with rope in suspension—physically, emotionally, and intentionally. You’ll learn how to tie with clarity and control, how to communicate trust and safety through every wrap and tension, and how to create suspension scenes that are not only technically sound but deeply connected.

Each session builds upon the last, guiding you from grounded floor play to your first confident partial suspension. This workshop isn’t just about rope—it’s about confidence, communication, and stepping into a new level of skill and intimacy with your partner.
