Shibari workshops for Beginners
Even after teaching shibari full time for well over a decade, I still find beginner classes to be endlessly interesting and rewarding. Over time, I’ve come to realise that people arrive to rope for very different reasons - some want a proper technical grounding they can build on, whilst some want to explore rope as a shared, connective practice with someone specific - and trying to serve both in the same workshop tends to dilute what each of them really needs. As a result I now offer two different introductory classes, rather than just one.
