Self Tied Suspension Harnesses & Intro to Uplines

Curious about self-suspension, but need guidance with figuring out harnesses? Or maybe you’re already playing in the air, but want more nerdy knowledge? This workshop is for rope lovers ready to explore what is needed for lifting off. Ceci will guide you through tying your own harnesses with intention, precision, and care, laying the groundwork for safe and satisfying solo suspension. And then we will practice attaching suspension lines to the harnesses & locking off on ring, carabiner, and bamboo.

We’ll cover:
Two self-tied chest harnesses
Hip harness for different body shapes
Futomomo (leg binder)
How to connect suspension lines to these ties effectively and safely
- How to lock suspension lines
This is a hands-on, body-aware class—you’ll be tying on your own body and learning techniques that prioritize sustainability, nerve safety, and adaptability. All harnesses can be tied while seated if needed. While this is not a complete self-suspension workshop, it’s ideal for people who want to build toward that practice with strong fundamentals.
If you don’t have a suspension point, you can practice the locking techniques on furniture, fixtures – anything that is attached enough to be able to manage a little bit of tension. Get creative!
