Spring aims to explore all the essential building blocks and the most classic ties to build a solid foundation. The different activities will guide you into building good techniques, collaborating with your partner, and (re)discover why some classics are loved by so many. 

The progression of Spring is not linear. Weeks 1-2 will take you through the core techniques, it is recommended for beginners to start there once they’ve covered the topic of the Getting Started section. The experienced practitioners will find tips and tricks to solidify their foundation. Weeks 3-7 covers multiple variations of classic ties. Then Weeks 8-13 are all about the core concepts of rope bondage and ways to play with rope. The chapters don’t have to be explored in a linear way, maybe only one of the tie variations will suit your needs, maybe you’ll want to skip right away to the more intimate activities. You get to create your own adventure.
