Introduction to Hashira: Techniques for Tying (in)to Upright Objects
with Ztella & Moir
Tying to a hashira can be restricting like almost no other way of tying; when tied effectively, hashiras offer unparalleled opportunities for intimacy, dominance and eroticism.
Hashira: Transitions & Flow (Level 2)
with Ztella & Moir
This class delves deeper into the art of Hashira, emphasising full suspensions and inversions. While Hashira suspensions often involve fixing someone to a pole, which can seem static, this class will teach you techniques to introduce more movement and fluidity. Participants will explore a variety of shapes and techniques off the ground, enhancing their ability to create dynamic sessions on a hashira.

Turning Point - Surprising Transitions
With Mie Neko
Let’s bring more surprise and dynamism into your transition practice. In this workshop, we will explore concepts that allow for sudden, visually striking transitions from one shape to another.
Predicaments
With Mie Neko
A predicament in Shibari describes a situation in which the tied person can choose between several body positions, each of which brings its own challenges or forms of strain. The goal is not necessarily pain, but rather to create a playful balance between different options and their consequences.

Threading the Unknown: Rope Meets Fear Play
with Anna Lysee
Together with a trusted partner, you will explore the textures of fear in rope. You will learn not only how to induce fear, but how to recognize its signs, how to hold it, and how to channel it into creative, connective play. Here, fear is neither spectacle nor cruelty, but an opportunity to touch something real that is trembling just beneath the surface.
Beyond the Frame: Exploring 3D Suspensions
with Anna Lysee
This workshop invites you to move beyond static suspensions and discover the possibilities of flow and spatial play around the bamboo. A central focus of the workshop lies in exploring how bodies can be placed and tied in relation to the bamboo in a truly three-dimensional way – not simply parallel along its length, but rotated into striking 90° angles that transform both the visual impact and the physical experience of the suspension.
Build-A-Harness: from Rope Chaos to Functional Form
with Anna Lysee
