One Rope Rodeo

In this shibari tutorial, Lief and Icky share a labbing-for-better-rope game designed to help you use your rope more effectively: One Rope Rodeo.

Much as you don’t need a suspension point or advanced skills to start exploring fun and rewarding rope play, you don’t need a huge rope kit either. As Lief explains in this class, there are many ways to play with a single rope and to effectively use one rope to manipulate the whole body. One Rope Rodeo is a game that challenges you to make smarter and more efficient choices as a rope top and to think about placement, position and even out-of-the-box adaptations to make a single hank of rope go a long way...

This floor-based tying exercise is suitable for all levels, as long as you allow your own skill set to guide you. There are lots of follow-along patterns out there but it’s games like this that create a foundation for creative, flexible and engaging tying.
