Six weeks. Strong foundations. Your own way with rope.
A progressive Shibari course for absolute beginners, designed to take you from your first ties to your first partial suspensions through practice, repetition and exploration.
Singles welcome. No previous experience required.
You don’t need to arrive knowing anything about Shibari. We start with the foundations and build from there, one layer at a time.
Over six weeks, you’ll learn how to handle rope with confidence, create ties for different parts of the body, understand tension and basic safety, and begin combining individual techniques into something of your own.
As the weeks progress, we move beyond simply learning how to make a tie. You’ll start understanding why it works, how it affects the person in the rope, and how you can adapt what you know rather than relying on fixed patterns.
By the final classes, we take those foundations off the floor and introduce partial suspension.
The aim isn’t to give you six weeks of patterns to remember. It’s to give you enough understanding to keep exploring without me.
Each class builds on the previous one, with time to repeat, ask questions and experiment along the way.
Safety, materials, tension and your first building blocks.
Combining what you know into structures you can adapt, rather than simply copy.
Understanding anatomy, friction and how rope behaves around the body.
Hard points, suspension lines and the principles behind partial suspension.
Building on what you know and learning how different ties can work together.
Using your foundations to create, move and explore your first partial suspensions.
You can join the six-week program on your own or with a partner. Singles are welcome and will be paired with another participant. During the classes, we switch roles so everyone gets the opportunity to experience both tying and being tied.
If you prefer to stay in one role, please come with a dedicated partner.
No previous Shibari experience is required. We start from the beginning and build from there.
You’ll need 6 × 8m ropes, or 4 × 8m and 2 × 4m ropes, preferably treated hemp or jute, as well as climbing-rated carabiners for the later classes. POSH or hempex rope is also welcome. Please don’t bring untreated rope or rope sold for decorative or sex-shop use. If you’re unsure whether your rope is suitable, just ask.
Don’t own rope yet? No problem. Rope can be rented or purchased at Subspace.
