Koshi (腰) means “hip”, and nawa (繩), “rope”, so this term refers generically to all ties involving this area of the body. Other words are added as a prefix or suffix to designate specific ties or techniques, such as the haya koshi nawa (早腰繩), or quick hip harness, used to ease transitions in suspension and help distribute loads.
As a technique, it has countless applications but, broadly speaking, they fall into two large groups:
- When its function is to reduce the load within a more complex application.
- When we want to use it as a source of stimulation within the pattern of desire.
It is a very versatile technique that we can always adapt during the session, switching from one function to the other depending on what we are looking for or need at each moment.
