Private Classes: Learn to tie

Private Classes

Training in Shibari for beginners who are just meeting the rope and developing their foundational skills, intermediate students who wish to develop their abilities & creativity, and more advanced rope classes to learn suspension. 

In my classes, I teach technical skills for binding the body in various position and also communication, energetics, sensuality, power play, aftercare, and self-care.  The technical skills will include different ties, frictions, closures, body positions, and safety in the ropes.  In communication we will look at how to safely and consensually open a play space together.  We will learn how to connect into the play with energetics, touch, and mood.

Private Class times range from 2-5 hours.  Also hosting Private Classes for Groups from 4-20 people.

I weave together the intricate technicalities of Shibari with the transformative realms of spirituality, intimacy, depth and connection. It's about mastering the mechanics as well as a journey into the soul, a passage where vulnerability and emotional exploration become pathways to profound transformation. What we learn here transcends the classroom and into day to day life.

Beyond the intricacies of rope lies a sacred space—a space where participants delve into the depths of their being, embracing vulnerability, and forging intimate connections with themselves and other. I emphasize the physicality of Shibari, and its ability to unearth tender spots within, inviting individuals to navigate these realms with empathy, respect, and conscious awareness. Sharing tools to navigate these uncharted conversational territories. Which enhance how we conversate and enter intimate spaces in regular life, the skills your always wanted but were never taught.

The workshops are inspired by Authentic Relating, The Wheel of Consent, Embodiment, Conscious Kink, and Somatic Intimacy and converge with the Japanese Art of Shibari. Encouraging participants to articulate their desires, boundaries, and emotions while co-creating a space of play, expansion, feeling, surrender, empowerment, and relaxation. It's a journey that transcends ropes and techniques, fostering an environment where spirituality meets embodied practice, where intimacy blooms through conscious connections.

Through this fusion of technical mastery and interpersonal depth, individuals undergo a transformation—a profound awakening to their own being and a heightened sensitivity to the intricacies of human connection. Participants emerge not just skilled in Shibari, but enriched with a deeper understanding of themselves, their partners, and the sacred dance of intimacy and spirituality.
