Shibari Beginner Class

Every Tuesday

6pm - 8pm: Beginner (step 1)
8.15pm - 10.15pm: Beginner (step 2)

Beginner (step 1)
The goal of this class is to facilitate regular, structured shibari practice, that aims to go deep rather than broad, helping you to develop a really firm grasp of the basics, build muscle memory, and get to know other participants.

You will learn why and how each technique works, how to move and control the rope fluidly and efficiently, and how to tie with an appropriate tension.

Content: single column tie, wrapping, counter tension, first frictions (x-friction, half moon friction, nodome, half hitch), kannukis, rope handling, tensioning, hojo cuffs, first harnesses, introduction to ichinawa and simple one rope play ties, introduction to body handling, & basic safety information.

The content rotates regularly, and you do not necessarily need to attend all the classes consecutively. You can continue attending the step 1 class for as long as you need in order to feel confident with all of the content, before moving into the step 2 class.

You are free to come alone or partnered. Much of the content of the step 1 class can be tied on your own body, but you are welcome (and encouraged) to partner up with another solo participant if you feel comfortable to do so.

Beginner (step 2)
This is open to anyone who is confident with tying all of the elements listed in step 1 - if you are unsure, feel free to contact me to discuss. If many people feel they are in a grey area in terms of their skill level, I may alter the step 2 class in the first weeks to ensure everyone is in the same place before we move on. Once the class is more established, these things should hopefully iron themselves out. Eventually, I hope to offer regular participants an intermediate (step 3) class.

The class will build on the techniques learnt in step 1, add some more tricky elements, and build these elements into harnesses and floor ties.
