Shibari is the erotic practice of traditionally informed Japanese rope bondage.
Join us for a guided journey into this exciting world. This class will cover the basics of Shibari knot tying, but with a specific focus on the art form’s potential for facilitating profound intimacy, connection and trust building with partners.
In all of our Shibari classes we teach the important foundations of safety and rope-craft before learning some basic yet impactful knots and tying activities to harbour great intimacy and non-verbal connection and communication.
The lesson structure is designed so that no previous experience is required.
What we will cover?
In this intimate Shibari workshop we will explore exercises and forms to find deeper connection while engaging with this beautiful practice.
What should I bring?
A learning buddy who is comfortable exploring intimacy and connection with you. Due to the nature of this workshop we will not be pairing attendees up at the workshop.
If you have your own rope please feel free to bring your own. We will have rope available to borrow for the workshop or purchase to take home.
We advise wearing comfy clothes appropriate for sitting on the floor.
