The lesson structure is designed so that no previous experience is required.
This is a partnered class so come with someone you feel comfortable exploring intimacy and connection with you.
What we will cover?
Shibari is the erotic practice of traditionally informed Japanese rope bondage.
In this intimate 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.
