somewhere between learn and play

(a gentle content warning for neck rope)

remember when i said the last post was the end of my europe posting? oopsies.

anna had one request for our lessons with fede and marta -- "some type of choking predicament". i believe this was our last exercise before a lunch break, and i was grateful for something close to the floor. the goal of the predicament was for anna to have to balance between the neck rope and the backbend, but fede and i pretty quickly discovered that with anna's hip mobility and love of breathplay, this was only sort of a predicament. i'm excited to revisit this soon.

after a morning of wild transitions and gosh darn difficult suspensions, it was a treat to stay close to the ground and watch anna squirm, even if the position itself was not easy persay for either of us. i had the time to snap these photos, and to let her simmer for a while.
