Your Body in Ropes: A Guide to Understanding Nerves (Booklet)
Please note: this booklet is available in batches of 10. So ordering 1 means we will send 10, 2 means we will send 20 etc.
Gestalta created this booklet because, as someone who teaches rope classes several times per week, they found themselves giving “The Nerve Safety Talk” on a very frequent basis. Not only did this take quite a lot of time away from practical exercises in classes, but they also found that many students struggle to remember so much information when it’s explained verbally. They needed visual references, and notes that they could refer back to.
We now give this booklet out to all students at the beginning of our shibari courses at the studio. We ask them to read it at home, and then come to following classes with any questions or clarifications they need. We think this gives them a much deeper understanding of the topic, and also allows them to ask much more specific and nuanced questions.
The booklet is A5 size, with 12 pages, (10 sides of information internally, plus the front/back cover sides). There are clear (and beautiful) hand-drawn diagrams explaining the structure of the nerve, their placement in the body, wrap placement, and how to perform hand checks, as well as a lot of detailed text, all of which has been checked by medical professionals (including a surgeon) for accuracy.
As this booklet is small and light, we would prefer to send it out in larger batches for people to distribute to their local communities.
We are not looking to make a profit on this, and are therefore offering 10 x copies for 5.95€ (5€ + VAT) plus postage and packaging.
