6 Week Course

Our Step 1, 2 and 3 courses form a pathway from the very beginning of your shibari practice through to the basics of suspension. regular, structured practice that goes deep rather than broad, giving you a firm grasp of the rope bondage basics, time to build muscle memory, and a group of people you get to know well enough to keep practising with.

6 week course

The goal of our 6-week beginner’s classes is to facilitate regular, structured shibari practice that aims to go deep rather than broad, helping you to develop a really firm grasp of rope bondage basics, build muscle memory, and get to know other participants.

Body handling as a skill is sometimes overshadowed by rope technique, yet it can be what distinguishes a good session from a great one. The ability to move safely and with confidence is more than just the act of "physically relocating" body parts: It can expand your creative options and allows the expression of intent when tying, as the manner in which a person is moved can evoke a wide range of emotional responses and invite engagement.

with Anna Lysee

This 4-hour class opens a door to the world of tying: first knots, first structures, first moments in which rope becomes a connection. In this beginner's class, we combine technique with what happens between the persons involved – physically, emotionally, socially – and give space for creative experimentation. ESSENTIALS provides you with solid tools, an understanding of safety and dynamics as well as the spark that turns technique into play.

Whilst neck rope is never safe, there is a lot that can be done to make it safer.

This workshop has a heavy emphasis on safety, but we will also show you different ways that you can integrate a neck rope into your sessions, and which risks you should consider for each of them.

A unique element of playing with ropes is being responsible for another person's body. Having the skillset to smoothly move someone else not only saves you a lot of unnecessarily hard work, it also greatly improves the flow in your rope sessions.

In this workshop we will look at different techniques to move (and be moved by) someone else into different positions.
