Shibari

IMG_9431_1_s_edited.jpg

"Shibari is a dance of the soul. 

It deserves constant exploring,
as it can teach you life, vision 
and maybe even wisdom." 

Private Tuition

Taster Class (2h)
Introduction to Shibari, its history/roots, it's different styles and my approach to it. You have the chance try out simple ties yourself and to ask all the questions you might have. (Single or couple)
 

Individual Classes  (3h+)

Here you decide what you want to learn and focus on as well as the time you want to book for. I usually teach in increments of 3h but you can also book 1/2 day, 5h+, a day or full weekends. Please get in touch to discuss your wishes and requirements. 

​

​Fundamentals Course (6h total)
In this course you'll learn the fundamentals of Shibari, rope handling, single column and double column tie, basic frictioning, basic body movement and simple yet effective harnesses for floor ties. Please bring a tying partner/model for this course.
(How you structure the 6h is up to you and your learning style - 2x3h,
3x2h, 1 day, etc.)
 

Earth (9h total)

In this course you'll learn working on the floor. We'll deepen the knowledge of the Fundamentals Course and add on to this with more complex harnesses and technique. But you'll also learn how to connect with your partner on a deeper level, play with intention and communicate effectively. Please bring a tying partner/model for this course. Please bring a tying partner/model for this course.
(How you structure the 9h is up to you and your learning style - 3x3h, 1x4h+1x5h, etc.)

Gote (9h total)
In this course you'll learn the iconic tie, the Takate Kote (hands behind the back) that is a requirement for many workshops and classes. You'll also learn in depth about health considerations like shoulders and nerves and how to mitigate the risks. The Gote is a tie of infinite depth. Seemingly simply, yet very complex. This is a first dive into familiarising yourself with it. Please bring a tying partner/model for this course.
(How you structure the 9h is up to you and your learning style)

Gote Clinic (6h total)
This is a class ideally suited for those who seek to be able to adapt their Gote even more individually to their tying partners or for models who've had bad experiences and/or developed a fear of Gotes. We'll look at different styles of Gotes and their application and into your individual needs. Please bring a tying partner/model for this course.
(How you structure the 6h is up to you and your learning style)

Water (9h total)
This course takes you into partials and semi-suspension. You'll learn what makes a harness structurally sound for suspension, how to attach and securely lock off uplines. We'll revisit body handling but this time in partials, how to be and keep being present with your partner and communicate effectively and if time allows, throw bamboo into the mix. Please bring a tying partner/model for this course.

Note: Shibari is an activity that takes two people and the willingness to establish an honest and caring connection and thus all my classes and courses are designed for you to come in a pair. Should you for some reason not be able to come with a partner - you are travelling, you partner is ill or unavailable - please let me know in advance and I can help to find a model.
