Once you’re up in the air, what kinds of things can you do? Shay uses this clip to explain how to safely unclip your chest harness (and, optionally, your ankle rope) and play around with some of the positions and options that an inversion can offer. Ranging from acrobatic and aesthetic to sexy and even masochistic (“Cards Against Shibari”, anyone?) she clearly explains not only the mechanics but also how to get back up into the original suspension when you’re done with the variations.
Rope bondage can be extremely dangerous. Self-suspension is an aerial activity with many inherent risks. Never tie alone or without appropriate instruction. Consult your doctor before attempting potentially strenuous activities like self-suspension.
