Rules &
guidelines

Consent & boundaries

• —All physical contact requires explicit, ongoing consent. Ask before touching — always.
• —No means no. A hesitation is not a yes. Respect limits without question or negotiation.
• —Safewords are always valid and must be honoured immediately.
• —Do not pressure anyone to participate in something they are not comfortable with.

Respect & conduct

• —Treat everyone in the space with respect — regardless of experience level, background, or identity.
• —Unsolicited advice, commentary on people's bodies, or comparisons between participants are not welcome.
• —Alcohol and substances are not permitted during classes.
• —Keep your voice at a level that does not disrupt other pairs working in the space.

Physical safety

• —Follow the instructor's guidance on all techniques. Do not attempt advanced material before it has been taught.
• —Communicate with your partner throughout — check in, speak up if something feels wrong.
• —If you are unsure about a tie or a situation, stop and ask the instructor.
• —Scissors are available at all times. Do not hesitate to use them.

Photography & privacy

• —Do not photograph or film other participants without their explicit consent.
• —What happens in the studio stays in the studio — respect the privacy of everyone present.
• —If you share anything from a session publicly, ensure you have clear permission from all people visible.

The space

• —Arrive on time. Late arrivals disrupt the group and the flow of the class.
• —Leave the space as you found it — tidy your area, return equipment to its place.
• —If something breaks or goes wrong, let the organiser know.
