Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This rope has similarities to the Golden Teacher, but it is an octave higher.

A touch thinner and a fair bit lighter, Piccolo packs up really small so it is great for traveling and hiking.

You could also call it a more forgiving rope, and ideal for zenning out into a flow state.

It works well as a rehab rope or for someone with shoulder issues who would still benefit from the patterns.

Includes:

  • Way of the Rope I: Foundations guide.
  • Access to the Way of the Rope Facebook private group.
  • Comes hand-knotted and sealed. Shipped in sustainable packaging.

Named after King Richard I's (aka Richard the Lionheart's) sword, this intermediate rope is silver and weightier to match its namesake.

24% heavier and thicker than the Golden Teacher, the extra weight draws the recruitment of more muscle fibres to stay stable and fire up more connections as you roll.

Rolling with this rope is great for getting a more muscular workout and embedding the patterns deeper into your body.

I would only recommend this rope for those with some experience rolling with a lighter rope first, as it can be taxing on the core and works the obliques in a way they might not be used to.

Those of you who have followed me since the birth of WOTR may be aware that I personally cut and tie all the ropes by hand. I know it's not the most complex task and I actually quite enjoy the mindful process of the hands on work to make each one. The price I sell each Rope for up until now has always been set taking into account the cost of the quality rope, the creation of the guides that come with it, labour of making each rope, the cost of my journey to learn what I share, P&P and for the opportunity for someone to plug straight into this powerful movement in its infancy.

After some deliberating I have decided to slightly different way and allow the customer more say in what they feel it is worth to them (though the value of this service is only truly known after time spent in practise) but predominantly I would like to offer those who may be slightly more financially disadvantaged the opportunity to still benefit from the Rope.

We launched the "Pay What You Feel" for the the Golden Teacher Rope (which includes the Foundations Guide) in June and it's been a massive success with great feedback which is why we've decided to keep it going. Above the "Add to Cart" button you'll see a drop down menu, this is where you can select the price option that suits your personal circumstance best.

I really believe in the Power of the Rope to help humans feel better in their body and minds and I feel that in this way I may be of service to get this healing tool out to more people who too could benefit from the experience like many of us in the WOTR Community so far have. I hope this shift in thinking makes a difference, that it invites more people to join a welcoming and supportive community and try a practice that can truly change lives. 

Now, onto the rope...

Way of the Rope Testimonials

Adore this essential piece of kit!

The Golden teacher and Tim’s courses are teaching me a great deal about the physicality if my body.. it’s helping with flexibility back pain and a while lot more. I am so excited to have found such an accessible tool to use along my fitness/healing journey. Love that Tim has handcrafted these with mindfulness and love.. can not recommend highly enough.. buy one you won’t regret it!

Rebecca S

AMAZING rehab for my shoulder!!!

After a mountain bike crash left me with a severely impinged shoulder causing so much pain and discomfort for 6 months despite trying various excersises, this rope has given me back almost my full range of motion in a super short time. Starting 2 mins a day learning the basic moves I was soon doing 10 mins and now building things up and up. Just bought the bigger rope for the intermediate instructions as this is something I'm gonna be doing for possibly the rest if my life. Once you get the basics down and get into the flow the minutes breeze by. There is nothing better than enjoyable excersise. Thanks so much Tim.

Paul F

Amazing biomechanic tool!

Been roping since the day I got it! It has improved my overall movement and especially my boxing skills! I´ve also lost bodyfat and gotten more mobility in my shoulders, and this is only from an average of 5 minutes a day.

Kent K

So happy I bought into this.

Apart from the philosophy and the knowledge being so perfectly on point and balance, you and your blessed team have done a remarkable job of the cinematography and audio. Every video is a true delight to watch and learn from. This is the perfect work/play that us wee humans so need, to reactivate ... timeless, respect. Its like being a Child again :D
