Bondage Soup

Bondage Soup is a rope education community built around learning, practice, and sharing knowledge.

Our community includes current cohort members and graduates of our 12-month Bondage Soup program and 6-month Test Kitchen program, along with instructors and GAs who continue to learn, teach, practice, and support one another.

Bondage Soup

Our 12-month, in-person progressive cohort takes tying pairs from little or no rope experience through foundational skills, harnesses, suspension, and suspension transitions.

Each month builds on the last through instruction, practice, repetition, feedback, and learning together as a cohort.

Bondage Soup builds the foundation.

Test Kitchen

Our 6-month cohort is a multidimensional program for experienced rope practitioners who are ready to explore what they can do with a strong foundation.

Test Kitchen creates space to deepen understanding, refine skills, experiment with established concepts, explore new ideas, and develop greater confidence making informed choices.

It is not graduate school or a higher tier of Bondage Soup. It is another room in the same house, created for a different kind of learning.

Test Kitchen gives you room to experiment, refine, and create.

Soup Kitchen

Soup Kitchen is our continuing education and practice space for graduates and current cohort members.

It is a place to practice, ask questions, share knowledge, explore techniques, and keep learning with people who share a common rope language.

Soup Kitchen keeps us learning together.

One Community

Bondage Soup began in 2018 with the belief that learning rope is better when we learn together and share what we know.

Since 2018, Bondage Soup has grown into a community of more than 100 graduates, alongside current cohort members, instructors, and GAs. Graduates return to practice, mentor, GA, teach, perform, interview future applicants, and support the people coming after them. What we teach continues to evolve through experience, feedback, and what we learn from the wider rope community.

There is no single way to stay involved.

Bondage Soup gives you ingredients, patterns, tools, and a shared language. Test Kitchen gives you a place to experiment, refine, and discover what you can create. Soup Kitchen gives you a place to keep practicing, sharing, and learning alongside the community.

Different programs. Different purposes. One Bondage Soup community.
