About this Event

A Two-Day Hair Suspension Workshop Join us for two immersive days dedicated to the exploration of hair suspension through technique, breathwork, embodiment, and play. ELEVATE is designed for practitioners who want to both start and deepen their relationship with hair suspension in a supportive and creatively stimulating environment. Across the weekend, participants will have space to refine technical understanding, build confidence in the air, and explore new possibilities through guided exercises and open play. This workshop welcomes mixed experience levels. Whether you are trying it for the first time, developing your foundations or already experienced in suspension practice, the structure of the weekend allows participants to work at an appropriate pace while still sharing a collective learning environment. Alongside suspension practice, we will focus on:  Breath work for grounding, endurance, and nervous system regulation  body awareness and positioning  creative exploration and movement play  adapting to different suspension dynamics and sensations Intermediate and advanced participants will also have opportunities to experiment with multiple rigging configurations and dynamic systems, including:  2:1 systems  counterweight setups  winch-assisted suspension  collaborative exploration with the rigging team The intention of ELEVATE is not only to train technique, but to cultivate curiosity, presence, trust, and freedom within suspension practice.
