Anatomy and Rope: Neck and Head

Instructor: Jaz

Gags, blindfolds, and the edge of peril—this class is an intermediate exploration of rope applications involving the head and neck.

We’ll build on foundational knowledge to examine how restraint, compression, and positioning interact with critical structures such as the airway, vascular pathways, and nerves. Emphasis will be placed on refining technique: pressure distribution, line placement, and how to avoid high-risk zones while still creating intentional intensity.

Through discussion and demonstration, we’ll explore how to assess risk in real time, recognize subtle warning signs, and adjust your approach dynamically.

This class is designed for practitioners who already have experience with rope and want to engage this region with greater precision, awareness, and sustainability—so the play you build can be returned to again and again.
