About this listen

Claire, a Filipino strength and conditioning coach and exercise physiology researcher based in Thailand, brings a fresh, evidence-informed perspective to rope bottoming. Fascinated by how the body responds to rope—physically and psychologically—she’s exploring how strength, conditioning, and awareness can deepen your connection to your own body in rope. Her approach couldn’t be more different from Mya’s ‘just turn up’ style, so the hosts sat down with her to unpack how labbing, movement, and mindful training can transform the rope experience. In this episode, they discuss: • What “labbing” as a rope bottom really means • How to use labbing to discover your body’s strengths and weak spots • Understanding your body’s physical and emotional responses to rope • Overcoming mental and physical challenges through labbing • Handling surprises and unmet expectations • How rope shapes—and is shaped by—the body • Why yoga with rope feels so different from yoga without it • Using rope as a tool for body awareness and self-connection • The three key questions Claire asks before every session • Simple exercises to prepare for rope and tune in afterward Expect a thoughtful conversation at the intersection of science, embodiment, and rope. Do you lab your ties as a bottom? Share your thoughts in the comments.
