Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need previous experience?
What do I need to bring?
You do not need previous experience to take private lessons at Goat Manor. If you have no prior rope experience, we encourage you to book our Consultation Lesson and take advantage of the resources we provide. However, there may be classes or workshops that will not be suitable for new students and do require experience - prerequisites will be listed in the description of each class.
Bring what you require for your comfort! Rope can be demanding physically and mentally, so water, snacks, layers and a notebook are great to have on hand. We have limited supplies at the studio so if you have specific needs, it is best to come over prepared.
Is it painful?
Yes. Although not all rope bondage is specifically oriented towards pain and suffering, a healthy expectation of discomfort and challenging sensations will be necessary while learning how to tie or be tied. Whether dealing with sensitive skin, the fatigue of rope handling, or a new position, discomfort and pain can arise.
