Blue

Blue has been teaching and performing Rope Bondage since 2012. In June 2017, she opened VoxBody Studio, the Bay Area’s first rope-dedicated venue, and launched a yearlong in-house core curriculum for students to move from beginner through to suspension. Her core belief about rope bondage is that the ties and knots are one part of a much bigger picture that includes focus on communication skills, consent practices, body awareness and anatomy, and energetics/how we show up for each other.

Blue is an enthusiastic switch, and believes rope education should address both sides of the rope.
