with Ztella | This workshop is taught in English
This study group delves into the complexities and creative possibilities of rope bondage through Ztella's detailed, structured approach to shibari. The classes emphasise the mechanics and logic behind ties while creating space for personal expression and connection.
The group will focus on specific themes over several weeks—whether a particular tie, sequence, or aesthetic—allowing for deep, thorough exploration. Informed by our models' experiences and insights, the teaching methodology emphasizes both technical precision and adaptability, with particular attention paid to safety considerations and communication between tying partners.
To keep the study group dynamic and adaptable, the theme of each session will not be scheduled too far in advance, and is not always advertised online. Instead, participants will be invited to join our telegram group, where the themes for the next classes will be discussed and announced. This flexibility allows for organic, student-driven discussions, ensuring that the direction of the classes remains open to exploration and responsive to the needs and interests of the group.

This study group is not suitable for beginners. However, it welcomes a range of students at intermediate-level and beyond.
At a minimum, participants must have some experience with using and understanding suspension lines, although extensive suspension experience is not necessary as Gestalta will guide and support you at your current skill level, ensuring that each participant receives personalised attention and guidance.
If you are unsure about whether your level is sufficient please contact Gestalta for clarification. If you are interested in joining the study group, but are not sure about your skills we recommend taking the suspension introduction weekend prior to starting this class.
